Solved Cannot rate Windows Experience Index

[Britton30]

I would still suspect a bad CPU even though the PC runs. With 3 cores part of it could be corrupted, not fully seated, bent pin, etc.

I was looking for a way to flash your BIOS without going into Windows to do it. If you have an option to do it from a CD or USB flash stick from within BIOS, that would be a better way, it's more reliable.

The Foxconn website just won't work for me so I can't find out for you.

All CPU test marked as no errors

(i think about to buy a new mainbord)

Before you change the board try disconnecting ant/all USB devices, DVD drives and try WEI again. IF your Keyboard or mouse are USB of course leave then connected.

The board may well be bad, there have been a lot of them around from many different makers.

Ricorik,

In addition, if it turns out to be the BIOS or motherboard, then if you have not already, you might see if reflashing the BIOS with the latest or older version may help incase it may have gotten a bit corrupted. You might also contact the motherboard manufacturer to see if they may already know about this issue and if they may have a solution already.

Oke i have now a MSI 760GM-p23 board

Same problems (Something whit the 4th core) dammit.

I have clear Cmos settings and have my normal CPU again.

Its pure over-clocking i dont want that.

If i unlock this 4th core then the problems start (Bad bad AMD)

Still problems: then i have a 2,2 GHZ then i have a 3,3 GHZ WTF?

 

[Britton30]

It's three core CPU for a reason, the fourth was bad and so was sold as a three core. The fourth is probably fused. Still the CPU is likely a bad one. Core unlockers do not always work.

Forget over clocking until you get the system running right. Set the BIOS for optimized defaults and see how that works.

 

[Ricorik]

hmm i must reset Cmos (Set the BIOS for optimized defaults) done already but not results. Have only a Jbat 1 jumper 2 pins.

 

[Ricorik]

Update: I have take out the battery and have now my normal CPU

But stil the same errors!

I give it up (The CPU is fine no stabillity problems at al)

My normal CPU is 3,3 GHZ and now 2,2 GHZ ??????

Its also strange that always that network form foxconn is busy I go now to the MSI forums because: whit no overclock my pc told i have a 2,2 GHZ proccesor and i have 3,3 GHZ

Lol its realy not funny anymore

But thx to Brink and you this is not a easy problem to fix.

 

[Britton30]

Sorry we've not got to the bottom of it yet.

 

[Ricorik]

MSI is much better then Foxconn.

MSI have update the bios (now i have the normal CPU) i have not rated jet, i want all drivers and update,s installed. And it is stable no WHEA loggers (only some warnings boot performance)

 

[Britton30]

Good, sounds much better.

 

[Brink]

Indeed. Sounds like it's going much better now.

 

[Ricorik]

But stil i can not rating, mabey there is nohting to do about it.

 

[Britton30]

Try going back through all the steps outlined with the new board. Do you have another CPU to test, as a science experiment?

i have done that, and i have only this CPU and some Intel CPU,s (Socket 775) but that is not working on this mainbord.

i have a old AMD sempron 2600+ but its to old for this mainbord.

 

[Ricorik]

4 weeks to now:

The computer is still stable and i have unlock the 4e core whit success. But what i say before 'But stil i can not rating, mabey there is nohting to do about it' and indeed, there is nothing to do about it.

 

[Britton30]

I read back through the entire thread and didn't notice if you had tried http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/79177-windows-experience-index-reset.html ?

 

[Ricorik]

Yes i have don that already

If your HDD and ROM drives are all SATA then go into BIOS and change from IDE to AHCI.
Some machines will require a re-boot only and some require a fresh install.
Now run your Windows Experience.
