Motherboard Problem I have bought a Core2Duo Processor System,but I can't install OS in it. Error Message Displaying in System is ''Harddisk is not properly connected'', but harddisk is detected in bios & I took harddisk & Connected in another System & I had Installed OS in it.Can u please give me soluion for this problem...

Did you upgrade an existing home-built system, or it this a pre-built system from a PC manufacturer? Pre-built systems usually have processor-specific BIOSes in them that will only allow certain upgrades approved by the manufacturer. Home built systems where you purchase the mainboard yourself have a wider range of processor options written into the BIOS to allow for wider compatibility. The error message is saying that the BIOS does not recognize the CPU code from the specific processor you installed. It has nothing to do with the OS.

If your computer is dead set (meaning: no beep sound, the processor fan is moving but no reactions on the motherboard, no hard disk movement sounds, no display output from the video card) then the problem is your motherboard. Return it back to the seller and claim your warranty.

If your computer manage to boot up, but is displaying a " No bootable device....etc" error then the operating system in your harddisk is damage. The other possible reason is that the power supply connector or ide cable is not properly connected on your harddisk, the reason why the computer can not detect it. Or the harddisk itself is damage.

The best help you could get is to return it back and claim the warranty to replace the parts. You might somehow repair it your self, but the idea is if a computer or parts of it malfunction in just a few days used, more probably it is manufacturer defects.

why go for difernet motherboards and complicate stuu,just get ur self a dualcore(minimum) or core core2duo

When you run the Motherboard Auto install program does it stop and give you the error message that it cannot continue? If the Auto install program doesn't work then why don't you try this:

Open My Computer, Right click on the CD Drive with the install CD. and Then click Explore, NOT OPEN. If you click open then it will try to auto install again and it will give you the same error message. After clicking Explore find the folder that has the Audio drivers. Open it and start trying to manually install each driver. When you open each one and attempt the install these drivers, one of two things will happen. They will either install for you or it will give you a message that you do not have that type of hardware on your system and it will not install. Eventually the audio drivers will install and you should have you speakers working.

The processor upgrade defends on your motherboard if it supports a processor like Core2Duo, because it all depedns on the motherboard if you can upgrade processor and RAM ,if you buy a new processor and its not supported by your motherboard it will be a wast, but if your computer manufacturer told you that your motherboard can supports a processor like Core2Duo go ahead upgrade to it , that will definitely make teh computer faster and better sicne Core2Duo is a high end processor right now..

Hope that helps...........

your bought compag computer is a new one , because that error is appears only if the hard drive or the harddisk is defective or damage. Your installation of windows xp is finished totally because sometimes the error is appears because the system installation is not finished and the os system cannot read. try to re install again the windows and delete the old partitions and create again if the problem is the same even there is no error in the installation until it's finished i say that the problem is in the harddisk. Maybe the harddisk develop a bad sector in the master boot record of the hardrive
