problem with sse
Posted: Thu Sep 05, 2002 11:58 am
first my hardware:
asus p2l97 (i440lx) and celeron 766 with slot-adapter
after upgrading to this cpu i could only boot to win98, nt4 and linux. with these os'es everything iworks great.
if i try to boot/install win2k or xp the computer freezes. the same happens when i try to start photoshp6 on win 98.
i remember, someone told me that this has something to do with the sse-instruction set on this cpu. if the os or an application recognises that the cpu support sse it make a bios call to initialise sse but the bios has no instructions to do so.
is that right? how can i modify/patch my bios? (i've tried the latest beta bios 1010.004)
