RE: New CPU help
Before going and updating the BIOS, unless too late, I'd recommend reinstalling the OS. If that doesn't work, than look at updating your BIOS. It could just be the HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer).

well i already updated the BIOS but that made no difference whatsoever.
i still dont see why reinstlaling the OS should fix it. and by reinstall, you mean format my drive and install or do you mean repair the files?

RE: New CPU help
According to a note in my book here, it says "Windows XP installed on an ACPI system with the ACPI hardware abstraction layer (HAL) will not allow you to change the resource settings. It might appear to accept your changes, but it will revert to its prior settings, even if you attempt to change the settings using the system BIOS configuration tools. To permit manual configuration of device resource settings, you must have installed a Standard PC HAL during installation."

He means formatting or just overwriting the windows directory. Did you update the BIOS to the Intel one? The Dell BIOS probably has locked multipliers because you're not meant to attempt to overclock it or change the CPU. :P

Seeing as though, you earlier mentioned that you wanted to know what it was, I'd doubt that you installed a non-Standard PC HAL. It comes up right at the beginning of the install blue screen and you have to hit F5 to install anything but the Standard.

None of your programs will work as the registry will get deleted.

I myself wouldn't recommend overwriting the Windows directory but if Underlord is confident enough, go with him. I would backup my data maybe to dvd, cd, another physical hard drive, etc... then reformat and then move the data back.
