Yeah, I don't see it. Try the startup repair. Something between the BIOS Settings/hardware and the startup files for the OS aren't matching up. Just repair the startup, I'm hoping that works.

10-4 Wish me luck...

[Ferrari]

We both need it bud.

[dzacbbb]

And the saga continues... lol

So I reboot with my Windows CD in and then I get this error

[Ferrari]

Is your boot priority in the BIOS set to CD ROM first and hard drive second? Save and Exit, And then usually "press any key to continue" will show up on the screen and just press any key, it will boot to the cd.

Yeah I even tried setting it to boot CD-ROM(Windows 7) then DVD(Windows Vista) then HD lol

[Ferrari]

What about DVD (Windows 7)??? This is getting bizarre, you should be able to boot to a cd easily since you can sit in the BIOS all night.

Gonna try again...brb
BOOTMGR image is corrupt. The system cannot boot

I googled it and you are right about it

[dzacbbb]

It finally said Press any key to boot from disk....
then ERROR lol

"...file is possibly currupt. The file header checksum does not match comput checksum"

That happened to me earlier. I guess I did something write because it asked me to re-write the boot sector or something like that.
Gosh, why aren't computers easier to mess with?

So...I got into Windows...and I am confused to how/why!

In the BIOS I bumped up the CPU Watts by 10?

Anyway Ferrari!

Going to ship back the CPU today and I will be back when I receive the new one.

This is one EPIC thread...

[Ferrari]

Boy, I just can't wait for the new CPU to come in

Glad something work. Changing the watts/voltages on the cpu doesn't make sense, but as long as it works I guess.

[dzacbbb]

Yeah I googled the second error I received and the person recommended checked the RAM sticks. I knew mine were fine so I figured I would try messing with RAM settings... It worked out!

I shipped the CPU back to newegg today and it should be there by Thursday(glad I live close). Hopefully I have an easier time with the new CPU CAN'T WAIT!

[Ferrari]

With the new cpu...

Just remember to Clear the CMOS
Change your Voltages again (I guess lol)
Be prepared to do a startup repair (maybe)

Wow I really sound like I know what I'm doing It's not supposed to be this difficult! I swap cpu's in used systems all the time without even thinking and I never have a problem, maybe more high end newer cpu/motherboards requires some finesse, not really sure.

Which CPU are you going with?
