AMD Athlon II P360 Dual-Core Processor (2CPU's) 2.3ghz

Restoring computer didn't work.

Are you using WINeq2?

Step 4 - Optional WinEQ
Many users experience problems with proper CPU/Core Utilization or crashing which can be fixed by using WinEQ2. You can download this program from Lavishsoft.

I don't know if it will fix this though. I'm pretty sure the processor is overclocked. I'm going to read about your processor when I have a few minutes.

I'm using the all in one program on the site, should I give EQwin2 a go? I have no idea how my computer is going from operation one day, and than it's not working the next, it's like it alternates which dates it wants to overclock smh lol, not to mention P99 Red works perfectly fine, but blue is a no go... it hates my pve!

[Lyra]

I say yes on WinEQ2. It has solved many a problems!

It's a free download, so make sure you are clicking the right things.

[Tuppy]

Yeah WinEQ2, is also a no go same problem.

Do you have Windows 7?

[Tuppy]

CPU Clock

The very first setting that needs to be made in the BIOS is to adjust the motherboard to utilizing the proper clock settings for the CPU installed in the computer. Most modern BIOS vendors can detect the type of CPU and automatically set the proper timings. Refer to the documentation from the CPU and motherboard vendor for the proper settings.

The CPU speed is comprised of two numbers, a bus speed and a multiplier. The bus speed is the tricky part because vendors may have this setting done either at the natural clock rate or at the enhanced clock rate. The natural front side bus is the more common of the two. The multiplier is then used to determine the final clock speed based on the bus speed of the processor. Set this to the appropriate multiple for the final clock speed of the processor.

For an example, if you have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ processor that has a CPU speed of 1.82GHz clock, the proper settings for the BIOS would be a bus speed of 166MHz and a multiplier of 11. (166MHz x 11 = 1.826 GHz)

Pretty sure you are going to need to look at your BIOS to fix this. Don't change anything yet.

When/IF you do change anything, you are going to want to make notes of before/after so anything can be changed back.

This is quite frustrating, now idea why P99 Red works, and why my computer works with blue every other day blah.
