Computer freeze at boot-up [HELP!]

p94 · 10-27-2009, 04:49 AM

Hey TSF Community, i've got a bit of a problem here. Recently I upgraded my bro's CPU for his pc, and now suddenly when the computer get's booted, it freezes during Windows XP boot screen, tried safemode, but still freeze's. It was upgraded from a Intel Celeron 2.6ghz to a Pentium 4 2.8ghz - Cooler has been bought to support P4.

Specs: Intel P4 2.8GHZ, GeFORCE 6200 256, 1GB Ram.

Brand & Model of Mobo?
Did it work properly after the CPU change?

1. But bios reads the new cpu fine?

Thought: If a livecd boots properly, would that rduce the problem to windows?
