| 471762 | 2006-07-18 10:35:00 | I've just brought a new CPU for my computer. It's a Pentium 4 660 3.6ghz (you can check www.trademe.co.nz for more info). Well, after finally getting it installed which was a mission in itself, it seems to make the computer runs slower. What am I doing wrong? The Original CPU and M/B can be found here www.trademe.co.nz None of the BIOS settings have been touched and are still on default. Please Please help me!!! |

| 471764 | 2006-07-18 12:32:00 | Is the processor correctly identified by the computer? Right click My Computer > Properties, CPU properties are displayed on the front page. If not correctly displayed it is a front bus / multiplier issue. If it is, maybe a heat problem as above. |
