Hey all., I have the p4p800-e deluxe board and have been running, for about 1.5yrs or so, a Celeron 2.0 OC'd to 2.6. Never a hiccup.
Long story short: wife left, took her machine, that my kid plays on when he comes over, (and she took the dog!!!!) and I am moving my machine (the Celeron) over to replace it. (Bought an AMD Dual core 5000+ to play with!) I have the p4p800-e in it, as I said, and it was running a Celeron 2.0 with a gig of kingston RAM and GeForce 6600 card. I want him to be able to play COD2, WOW, etc head to head with me, as we usually do. I bought a P4 3.0 Ghz chip to upgrade (I have BIOS 1009.003) the machine and squeeze out some more performance. Turns out CPU-Z identifies it as a Prescott (which I wouldnt have bought, if the ad had said so) but whatever...its in and running with Hyperthreading turned OFF in BIOS. I did this because when I first installed it, it ran fine for a while, and I even overclocked it on a practice boot to 3.9Ghz! I got a little nervous about heat and shut it off and set it back to 3.0. I played some COD and it rocked and even watched a movie for a while. Went to bed (machine ran overnight), woke up, the machine was frozen. I rebooted it and got B.S.O.D with some "bad_pool_error" problem. Couldnt reboot to desktop no matter what I did. SO.......I took chip out, put celery chip back in, ghosted most recent image and it booted up fine. No fried board or socket or whatever. I went and bought a new CPU fan/sink (rated to 3.6Ghz) and reinstalled the chip, then booted and went to BIOS and turned Hyperthreading OFF. Device Manager now reads "ACPI Uniprocessor PC" Been running a couple days now with no probs....BUT....its an HT chip with an HT capable mobo....what about hyperthreading? is there a driver I should install? I know XP will "detect" it on boot up, should I install driver FIRST and THEN reboot? whats up?
Soooo...what I need to know is: to enable Hyperthreading in BIOS, what do I do? What is safest course of action? Leave it alone? No hyperthreading?
Thanks for any info on this board/cpu combo.........................................................................................'boss
Have you tried a repair install to see if that will fix the problem? You will have to turn on HT in the Bios before you start.
