a cpu overload error occurred Win 7
I just started getting this error last Friday but about for the last 3 weeks my computer would just turn off without notice from time to time. I had XP 64 Bit installed for 1 week as a dual boot and XP ran very fast on my system. When I get this error it would come as a blue screen error that said " a cpu overload error has occurred your system will power down to protect your system"
I was just told on Sunday afternoon that my processor is only designed for Windows XP and not Windows 7 so it don't have the power to run Windows 7 like the newer processors do. Also My computer boots up fast but runs alittle slow after and I find alot of programs max out this processor like AVG, Windows media player 12, MPCStar 4.9 just to name afew. Firefox takes sometime 5 to ten seconds just to open and load my home page.
Does anyone know how this processor would work on Windows 7 AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core Processor 6000+ 3GHz will this work better then the one I have now?
Here's the specs of my system
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 Bit
8GB DDR2 800MHz
1TB hard drive 2 500GB WD Blue
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core Processor 3800+ 2GHz
AMD Sapphire PURE CrossFireX 770 model PC-AM2RX780
ATI Radeon HD5450 1GB DDR 2
Coolermaster 500Watt
