[newbie] OT: Hardware Issues

2004-07-29 Thread Marc Hultquist 
Morning / Afternoon and evening everyone.

I just wanted to ask, my play machine at home, at the moment runs as a dual 
booting system, with both windows XP Pro and MDK 10.0 Community, now it was 
running fine up untill last night, I bought a processor and GFX card for the 
machine, now when I put both in the machine, it wont send a signal to the 
screen, however if I leave the new gfx card in the machine, and simply put 
the old processor back into the machine, it works, although now I have kernel 
panics in linux, and my windows xp has lovely Blue Screens of death ? The 
only thing I can think of is that the machine has now got corrupted system 
files ? Maybe when I put the new proc in ? The machine as I said is only a 
play machine and therefore has a celeron processor in it, I put a new Celeron 
D proc in, but as I noticed this wont work, but now if I put my old Celeron 
standard 1.7Ghz chip back into the pc, it starts the screen fine, and sends a 
signal and everything to the screen ? 

The OS is not a problem as I have bought a new hdd for the machine and well it 
was going to be replaced anyway so its not the biggest problem, the problem I 
am now worried about is that I have in some way stuffed up my socked on my 
MOBO by putting in a Celeron D chip as apposed to putting a normal Celeron 
chip in ? Is this possible? They are both socket 478 chips, nothing wrong 
there, I just dont think the D chip is compatible with my mobo ? But my well 
main query though, even though its not the biggest train smash, is why all of 
a sudden do I now get it that the OS's on the machine suddenly BOTH don't 
work ?

You need to check out your motherboards web site for details of what you need to do to 
go to the new Celeron D. I would guess it is just a bios upgrade.
