Hey guys I need a little help!
I've just replaced my Opteron 240 with a 252 one, it is recognised in the BIOS (v. 1007) as a 252 (2.6Ghz) and boots into Windows. This is where it goes wrong. I can reach the desktop, the pointer is there with the egg timer and the toolbar is missing (well there the outline where it should be but not properly there/visible). Now i cant move the pointer or get anything to work.
Specs:
SK8N motherboard
2Gb (4 x 512MB) reg ECC memory
9800XT AGP
40gb Maxtor
Liteon DVD RW
Now this worked fine when I had the 240 in it, is this just a simple task of reinstalling XP and all will be good or is there something else? I will Google this and check AMD forums tomorrow at work but I just thought I would throw this out there. Help/ideas/thoughts would be much appreciated.
Cheers guys!
P.S. If i get this sorted I will have a 240 (Sledgehammer) spare.
