Beware Windows 7 and NEW AMD 7000 CPU's

I am a tech for a small firm in the southern UK just thought I'd let people know as I ahve been testing windows seven (and liking it) I brought in a new machine just for the purpose of "playing / Experimenting" with it everything is a fairly standard machine except the wholesalers convinced me to try the new 7000 range CPU's.

I have tried to install both 32 bit and 64 bit trying the newest available and the older versions both as dual boot and as a stand alone and it just will not install giving a BSOD during the install very similar to a memory one but stating there is a hardware problem, I am trying one last idea i.e. a upgrade before giving up but I shouldn't have to.

But I thought I'd warn people.

Hi, The Owl, post your system specs, and people will have a better idea about how to help you, and Welcome to Seven.

AMD 7750
Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2
4 GB Ram
250 GB Drive


I am 99.999999% certain its the new AMD 7000 series CPU

too late now wiped it and will install Vista on the machine tomorrow and try the upgrade route

mm very suspicious getting a similar message with a vista install on same machine!!

stop code on that is 0x0000007E (0x800000003,0x894626CC,0x8DB2E52C,0x8DB2E228)

Nope wasn't Ram was the CPU in a roundabout way

Brand new Board seeing the CPU as what it is but required a BIOS update OK sorted that

mm spoke too soon it was installing nicely then buggered up at installing services oh hum had enough tonight

G'night

Just a update after a long chat on the phone with the wholesalers a replacement Chip and Board (as it could be either ) being delivered in the morning
