installed second processor in hp xw9300 now windows won't boot
I have dual opteron 285's now both are exactly the same, I had windows 7 ultimate 64 installed and working with just one cpu, now after installing the other processor windows 7 constantly resets back to the post screen (where you would hit f10 to boot f12 for bios etc). checking the bios shows that both cpus are working, both have 4x512mb dimms making a total of 4gb of system memory. im getting results saying that windows 7 only supports 1 processor with 258 cores or 2 processors total 258 cores, neither is possible so im not sure where to go from there, trying to reinstall windows with both cpus in hangs at the loading part after windows loads files, installing server 2012 also hangs and resets back to post. what is going on?
