Hi there all, im new here and i am a nooby at this sort of thing.

When i installed the cpu i updated the bios to version f11 as instructed
i downloaded Intel(R) Processor ID Utility and ran it, this is telling me that it is running at 1.59ghz, (which i think it should be running at 2.40ghz?)

i have ran the tool that is stated in another post on here called SIW. and this is what it is telling me.

i also keep getting the bsod, mainly when im playing games. such as cod4 and crysis.
i have installed a new OS (xp pro) hoping this may solve the problem. which it did'nt
here are 3 of the errors i have had so far:

0xc0000005, 0xBF9C7007, 0XB5731C6C, 0X00000000 Dxg-sys-address BF9C7007
Which i think is a Direct x graphics driver problem
next
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT 0X0000004E
next
page_fault_in_nonpaged_area 0x00000050

any help on these problems PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE.

but please keep in mind. i am very new to this and would need it spelt out..

i thank you very much for reading this longwinded stuff lol.

Hi --welcome to PCHF

Here you go...

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/24...ong-multiplier

and if I may ... a tip to save you having to type out your specs:

suggest-- when you repost-- go into "User CP" "edit options" --scroll down the list.
List all your hardware in the spaces be sure to list the Brands and Model Numbers
-- at the top-- there is an option to "allow others to view my specs"-- click on yes.
It saves a lot of time between posts if while you check something I can go look up your motherboard manufacturer's site and read the manual.

You can also list your OS...all this is a great time-saver for us-- we can view everything quickly to refresh our memories... as we are all working multiple threads at once.
This would be automatic from that point on-- so if you have another problem six months from now-- we can instantly know what you have.
