Need some help

Shemmykins · 12-24-2008, 04:28 AM

Right, I made a thread in the Windows XP section regarding my Device Manager not showing the Processor tab.

Anyway, I changed my processor from a AMD Athlon 2200+ to a 2700+ TBRED. Now, the computer loads up fine... but it says my processor is a 2100+.

I'm on Windows XP, and my computer is a COMPAQ. So, do I have to change any bios (and if so, how?), or, do I have to do something else?

Thanks.

First I Email HP support to find out if your motherboard supports the 2700+ and what Bios version you would need to support it.
