System won't boot in 2P mode. I get the error "Multiple processor not supported". Is there a workaround to get my system to boot up in Windows 7 ultimate with both cpu's. Thanks everyone who can help. #1 2 Replies Related Threads

Have you tried swapping the Procs around in the sockets so the 0A0 becomes CPU0 instead of CPU1 for instance. #2
