In a computer using WinXP I just changed from a AMD Duron 750 processor to a
Athlon XP 1700 processor. The 1700 processor is fairly new (about 3 months)
and has been working great in another computer. Since I installed the Athlon
XP 1700 in place of the 950 Duron, the computer freezes and keeps locking
up. I have never had to reinstall Windows before just because I changed
processors, motherboards yes, but a processor? Because I changed from a
Duron to a totally different (except for the socket it uses) processor, the
Athlon XP, will I have to now either reinstall WinXP or run the repair?? Or
should I be looking elsewhere for my problems?? The motherboard is a ECS
K7S5A with 394 of memory. No service pack installed (this is a corp. edition
that won't allow the service pack to be installed, anybody know any
work-around?)



Thanks
