Re: MCE and Athalon 64bit

Do a repair install. That's your best option at this point... (no sense
wasting more time by letting the issue fester).

Jason,
Jason,

My worst fears have been realized. As I stated in my very first message
in
this thread, I had downloaded and installed the latest AMD CPU driver and
I
thought it a bit humorous that their latest driver for the dual core
processor was dated in 2004. As it turns out, I did indeed have the
correct
driver downloaded and installed when I had all of the locking up problems
when starting Media Center. I have one other thought and that would be to
install the dual core cpu again and immediately re-install the "latest"
AMD
driver again. I really hesitate to do that after all the grief I went
through the last time I installed the dual core processor. But it is a
shame
to be using it as a $500+ paper weight. Sigh.......................

I believe I have installed the latest X2 XP driver from the AMD Web
site
and
it did not fix the problem. Any other suggestions. In the event
somehow
I
did not get the latest update, could you please tell me what the date
of
the
driver is when you open up the device manager and look on the driver
tab
for
the AMD processor?

Thanks,

I've been running Windows Media Center 2005 since May 2005 with only
a
fiew
glitches on an Athlon 64 3500+ processor and 2 GB of RAM on a MSI
KS8
Neo
4
Platinum motherboard. I recently upgraded to 4 GB of RAM and
changed
out
the
CPU to a Athlon 64X2 4400+ processor. What a nightmare. The system
consistently froze up when opening Media Center. I have ALL of the
latest
drivers and bios upgrades. Nothing helped. I spent over 24 hours
total
on
trying to trouble shoot to no avail. I finally gave up and put a
new
Athlon
64 3700+ processor in it and now it works fine. I tweaked the SATA
drive
settings and had already installed the latest AMD drivers. Just as
a
side
note. The "latest" AMD drivers are dated 2004 which does not sound
very
current to me, but I suppose it's better than most of the windows
drivers
that are dated 2001. At any rate, if anyone has some insight on how
I
can
put the 64X2 processor back in my system, please let me know. I'm a
beaten
man at this point.
