Update and Results sofar
Since last post I have tried:
Booting from LINUX
RESULT - SAME SYS FREEZE ON OS BOOT
(therefore have decided not to try new xp install or repairs - prob must be somewhere other than os)
Uninstalling all other hardware
RESULT - SAME SYS FREEZE ON OS BOOT
Using just 1 stick of ram
RESULT - SAME
Talking to the computer nicely and surprising it with flowers and chocolate
RESULT - SAME AS BEFORE
Have run many system checks including TUB CD and Eurosoft PC Check.
RESULT - ALL HARDWATE CHECKS PASS EXCEPT__
**cpu cache coherency**
FULL RESULT:
PC-CHECK EUROSOFT
MP SYMMETRY CHECK
(ALL MP SYM CHECKS PASS XCPT...
CACHE COHERENCY
PROCESSOR 1-4
(1) BOOT CPU INTEL CORE - N/A OR PASS
(2) APP CPU INTEL CORE - (SYSYEM FREEZE) THEN MANUAL REBOOT REQUIRED
(3) APP CPU INTEL CORE - (SYSYEM FREEZE) THEN MANUAL REBOOT REQUIRED
(4) APP CPU INTEL CORE - PASS
Well Guys N Girls - On the back of these results can I assume there is a conflict between either graphics mem, or RAM.
Or is it somthing else entirely?
To be quite honest i am now wandering out of my comfort zone with things such as cache coherency.
My RAM specs are: 2off
Samsung
DDR2 1024mb PC2-4300(266Mhz)
Processor specs are:
INTEL CORE 2 QUAD Q9650
3GHz 12MB-L2Cache FSB 1333MHz
OLD processor specs are:
INTEL Pentium D925
3ghz 2mb-L2Cache FSB 800mhz
Hows about them apples!?
As always a push in the right direction is always appreciated... :~)
