Windows dose not recognize CPU
I have just installed a new AMD Phenom x4 840 onto my pc, but the computer does not recognize the model of the cpu but it functions. Some software ex. HWM, CPUID are able to detect 840 while windows can not. When i checked the processor under system, it reads AMD Processor model unknown 3.2GHz. Any idea? Many thanks.
*Note: Im running 840 (Socket AM3) on a socket AM2+ motherboard. I doubt if theres any compatible issues tho, since some software are able to identify the cpu.
