Hey guys and gals Right , i formatted the father in laws pc (amd 1800+ 1.15ghz) all fine only one big problem , wont connect to the net in device manager there is no ethernet controller or any network devices ahhhh can someone point me in the direction i could get the new drivers please i tried googling it but cant seem to find any thanks in advance celticfc1 cant connect to the net using usb either , just wont find network connection running xp home sp2
You need the drivers for the motherboard, not the CPU which you jave listed. Once you know what make and model it is, just go to the manuafacturers web site and search for downloads and software for latest drivers. If you struggle to find them, then post the system details so we can look them up and post the links. I presume there is no motherboard CD with the PC which should have all the files required.
you need the name of your motherboard to find out what drivers you need. anyway it seems like that isnt your only problem unless youve made a typoe . an AMD 1800+ should be running at 1.53GHz not 1.15
No, thats what it is running at 1.15ghz , he was given the pc so im not sure how old it is or how much it was used
if it really is an AMD 1800+ then it should be running at 1.5GHz 1.15 sounds like a very slightly overclocked athlon 1100. Anyway back to your driver problem. you need to find out the make and model number of the motherboard your using otherwise there little hope of us giving you any help
Im just waiting for the father in law to find out whether he has the driver disks , if he hasnt how does he find the make of the motherboard ? , i only know how to use dells lol
Well if your dad does find the driver disc you wont need to find out what make your mobo is as youll have the drivers... lol the best way to find out is simply to take the side off the case and take a look at the motherboard itself. they usually have the model number printed on the board somewhere or if its a branded pc like HP or whatever jus find out the model number for that and i can find what drivers youll need Also if this PC was built by someone you know and not a brand dont let them touch a computer again as theyve set your up wrong lol you know how i said its supposed to be running at 1.5GHz well i think ive found out why it isnt. The FSB hasnt been set on the motherboard. this processor has a multiplier of 11.5 and an fsb of 133 (11.5 x 133 = 1.53GHz) your FSB is only set to 100 which explains why your only running at 1.15GHz (11.5 x 100 = 1.15GHz) dont worry about this for the moment. when you find out what motherboard you have ill guide you through putting all that right
Well he's got the driver cd installed all the drivers flashed the bios all seems well , speed reporting at roughly 1.48ghz but hes taking it to the geezer he got it off and is getting an upgrade (pointless me formatting it eh?) any way cheers for the help celticfc1
