Yesterday I replaced my Duron 800 with an Athlon 1200 and things have not gone well.
Basically when I Boot up I get as far as the Windows welcome screen and then I get a Black screen with an Hour Glass in the middle and that?s as far as it goes. If I put the Duron 800 back in it boots OK.
The funny thing is that if I Boot into Safe Mode with the Athlon everything works OK, which led me to believe it may be a Driver problem, so I re-installed all my Drivers and Updated the V5 driver. Still no change, Boots OK with the Duron but not with the Athlon. I have loaded Safe Defaults on the EPOX and still get the same result.
Would I be right in thinking that the Athlon is not faulty because of the fact that it works OK in Safe Mode?
Any help would be much appreciated
