Alright, I've had Win7 installed for awhile and just never felt like backing everything up and moving it from the WinXP install to the 7 install. I finally got around to doing it and I've ran into a problem.
They system isn't 100% stable. It blue screens regularly, just not always when I am around. I can't remember how to stop it from rebooting automatically on blue screen so if someone could tell me how to that would be great.
I read through the error logs and it seems to be a compatibility issue with the CPU.......but I can't be sure. I get an error when I boot from BIOS saying the mobo isn't compatible with the CPU but I can F1 past it an be fine. I've done it for three years using XP. The CPU in question is a Intel Pentium D 940 Presler. From everything I've read it should be 64bit compatible.
I know probably not enough information to get any real help but perhaps someone else ran into a similar issue? I'll post some logs and blue screen codes when I manage to get them.
Thanks in advance.
