Hi guys been a while i hope someone can help me because i have tried everything.
Well heres the deal i have a Abit Av8 motherboard (socket 939, AGP,), this motherboard came with my alienware computer...now recently i purchased a socket 939 AMD X2 4800 from newegg along with a vigor moonson 2 cooler. Now i know the rules flash the bios before installing an X2 on an old m/b like this so it can be compatible now i tried using Abits new bios but i couldnt install them because the flash utility kept telling me my m/b wasnt supported by that bios vs which was weird so i called Abit and they told me to call alienware because the motherboard was especially made for alienware and i could only use their bios so i called alienware and they told me to install their bios 16 update so i did and everything went great so afterwerds i uninstalled my old amd 3500 and installed my new x2 4800 but wen i turn on my pc its not recognized by the bios or by windows so now i cant flash my bios with abit bios and alienware is too lazy to update theirs so now im stuck with a x2 4800 running only one core...i would really appreciate if u guys had any solutions because i dont want to have to waste like 700 bucks on a new vid card psu and mobo thnx guys hope u can help me!!!!
