1) Motherboard uses a Socket A processor socket. Also known as Socket 462.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_A

When they switched from the Athlon single-core processors, to the Athlon 64-bit dual-core processors, they went to a completely different processor socket.

AM2,

So using the MSI MS-6380E motherboard with a dual core AMD processor = NO.

I don't seem to find an AMD Athlon 64 X2 1.8GigaHertz processor, except for a mobile version. One used for a laptop in otherwords,

Uses a Socket S1 mobile processor socket,

Pretend like I'm from Missouri, and Show Me.

Find the processor by it's AMD part number, and post the URL of the website in a Comment.

AMD Athlon 64 3000+
SINGLE-core processor, not X2.
(Socket 939 processor socket, too)

Show me the Processor, and then we can go on.

try cleaning the CPU of dust with a fine air blower using an air compressor making sure there is no moisture in the air line

AMD Athlon™ X2 Dual-Core Processor
AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual-Core Processor

are the best processors for this motherboard

Hi,

Yes, according to the Asus website specifications on the A8V Deluxe you are able to run the CPU. You just have to make sure that the CPU you buy is for Socket 939 and not AM2.

Please rate!

Use the free tool on this site to scan your PC to determine what kind of memory you need:

the following motherboard are best for the processor u have:-

MSI K9N6PGM2-V Motherboard CPU Bundle - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ ...

Asus M2N-MX SE Plus Motherboard CPU Bundle - AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200 ...

ABIT-AV8 MOTHERBOARD AMD ATHLON 64X2 4200+ DUAL CORE

selection is yours.

Go into device manager and uninstal "acpi multiprocessor" (in computer tab) and reboot and cpu should be detected properly.

Hope that sorts it for you? :)
