The System appears unstable. You have a computer with an AMD Athlon or AMD Sempron processor and
have enabled the PowerPlay function in the ATI Catalyst® Control Center
video control panel.
The PowerPlay function is automatically enabled by default, so if your purchase
option includes an AMD Athlon or AMD Sempron , click to remove the tick
alongside Enable PowerPlay (see Figure B - 12 on page B - 15 ) to disable the
function.
If you have an AMD Athlon or AMD Sempron processor, and have reinstalled
the video driver for any reason, then make sure the PowerPlay function is
disabled.
If you change processors from an AMD Turion to an AMD Athlon or AMD
Sempron you will need to reinstall the video driver, and then disable the
PowerPlay function.
I have upgraded the CPU but the system
information in Windows still lists the
previously installed cpu as present.
If you change or upgrade CPUs, note that the system information will retain the
information on the CPU installed when the operating system was installed.
If you want the system information to reflect the actual CPU then go to the
System control panel ( System and Maintenance ) and select Device Manager .
Click the “ + ” symbol next to Processors and right-click the cpu name and select
Uninstall > OK . Click Yes to restart the computer and the correct cpu name will
now be displayed.
