Ok, My pc will start and start loading windows but then it reboots and I get -CPU Unworkable please recheck-Soft Mode. What is Happening?

What motherboard and cpu are you running? Can you get to BIOS and is it stable there? Or will it bring up the same message after a while. Try checking that BIOS is indeed seeing your CPU for what it is, and clear the CMOS from BIOS to try and eliminate that as a problem.

It could possibly be the CPU itself is faulty, but we'll try and eliminate other things first.

Are you using a Abit BH6 motherboard with th Intel BX chipset and a Celeron or PII CPU?

 

[RaiseUp]

MOBO-NF7-s
cpu-amd 1700
I can get to Bios Fine and it is Stable

 

[acron1]

I had the same problem some years ago with the Abit BH6 and a Celeron CPU while overclocking.
What seemed to help was to manually set the correct FSB and multiplier in the bios and reboot, or load safe defaults and reboot.
Good luck.

Would Updating the BIOS do anything?

 

[acron1]

Are you overclocking your CPU, memory or video card?

 

[RaiseUp]

Nope all stock. If it boots then is it maybe not a hardware problem? When I try to goto safe mode it gives me Drivers Errors.

 

[acron1]

Sorry but it sounds like you have corrupted files on you HD.
BTW overclocking can do that, a bad PSU can do it, bad memory can do it or even a dying HD can do it.

Yes. Windows doesn't like having new mobos heaved into its lap so reinstall and see if you're clear of the issues.

Bios wanted to do a mem. test so I did it and it started fine. There isnt any sound now.
