CPU Caching Issues

m_one · 12-December-04, 01:41 AM

Hello!

Installing WinXP on a formatted Hard Disk, but we were unable to install WinXP with L1 and L2 Caching enabled. We just got blue screens when we attempted to install with caching on. So it installed, but very slowly. Then once we were able to, went and restarted through the start menu. Went into BIOS and turned L1 and L2 Caching back on, and now we get the the pretty blue welcome screen and we get Restarted.
Im really stumped about the problem because the CPU was used in a previous PC just fine, here are my specs.

P4 3.0 Northwood
DFI LanParty 758 Mobo

Any ideas on the problem?

Whats your system ram?

ADD: The reason I ask is while it seems like a memory problem , but ondie memory being bad doesn't generally cause instability problems, just slower performance.
