Hi there.
I got a brand new system with the following configuration:
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ /512KB Cache/2000 MHzFSB/Socket 939 2 * 512 MB DDR TRANSCEND RAM 400 MHZ MSI K8N SLI Platinum M/B - nForce4 SLI - Socket 939 XFX GeForce 6600 graphics Card 256 Mb Memory Western Digital Sata 7200 rpm 80gb HDD.
I've installed XP Prof.( 32 bit), but I am unable to install any drivers. Inserting a driver CD causes the system to stop, and restart. Double clicking the CD has the same effect. I've been unable to install anything beyond the motherboard drivers.
I was able to install the sound drivers though.I also managed to play and audio cd from the cd rom.But everything else,any cd of any kind just makes the system restart.
I havnt been able to put my rams in dual channel mode cause it seems to make my system restart over and over again.My SMPS is 450 watts but is only 20 pins instead of 24 pins.
This is what MSI recommends-
• Both power connectors, JPWR1 (24 Pin) & JPWR2 (4 Pin, for CPU Power ) must be attached to this model to ensure operation of the Mainboard.
• A Power Supply of 450 watts, or above, is highly recommended for system stability.
• ATX 12V power connection should be 18A or greater.
• For this model, you must use a Power Supply which has a -5V pin supply.
in my case as i mentioned it is only 20 pin instead of the 24 pin.
and the 12v power supply shows 10A beside it in the sticker of the smps.
Would changing to the specified SMPS solve my problem??
Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
