DC7600 CPU Upgrade

[uchihadark]

thx dude for replaying.

so i did what u told me to do and that blue screen appeared again .

u said i may have memory issues what do  u mean by this and how can i fix this ??

but the wired thing is this problem wasnt happening till i replaced the cpu and added more ram 😞

Go back to the original configuration, original CPU, and original memory.  If no blue screen, then populate 2 new 1G dimms (if you had something smaller originally) or add 2 new 1G dimms.  Make sure you follow the memory population guide.

Hi uchihadark,

I understand you have the original CPU installed.

You have 4 memory modules. You can try to boot with only a memmory module, if dont works, try with another module. You have 4 oportunities ;). In my opinion if it fails with every module the problem will be the motherboard. Good luck!

Regards and excuse my bad englush

Regarding Memory on the dc7600; I once had a dc7700sff desktop and tried adding memory without success and 'learned-through-the-grapevine' that there is Memory for desktops running Intel processor's and there is different memory for a desktop with an AMD processor.  The AMD processor uses Memory with 'higher' density than Memory for the Intel.  I don't remember the 'specifics', though the computer would not 'Boot' and I received the Diagnostic LED of:  5 blinks (Red) 1 blink every second followed by a 2 second pause.  The message indicated - "Pre-video memory error".

After populating the DIMM Slots with memory that works; make Sure each stick of memory is seated fully in the slot before starting the computer.

ALL OF THE ABOVE ASSUMES THE POWER CORD WAS PULLED BEFORE YOUR WORK; And the monitor as well as your Router/Modem were disconnected before entering into the computer (with your hands!).  Memory is pretty tough these days; but, they Don't like static electricity nor power still entering the computer from "Add-Ons".   Good Luck, Jeff

so if you cannot flash the bios if you are running windows 7 ,, how are you supposed to do it ,,, why  do you people answer us as if we already know the answer ,,, why are computer people so hard to comumicate with ,,, is your head programed wrongly ...

Check on page 8 of this DC7600 CPU Upgrade forum. There is a long post which goes into how you are supposed to upgrade if you have Windows 7.   It worked for me.
