but now, you should have the entry to edit in registry

then, set ahci in BIOS, boot as safe mode, install NVIDIA drivers for the chipset, and reboot. Might work

with regular drive, there is nothing wrong about running the drive in native mode. All the feature AHCI gives are not needed, and don't affect performance. NCQ are mostly needed with server work, and normal desktop don't really need it. With SSD, advanced command like trim are needed thou. If...

ClassicShell takes 2 minutes tu download and install, while downgrading takes much more time.. I'm perfectly happy with Windows 8 and my start button back thank to Classicshell. If I had found my Windows 7 disk when I changed the HDD in my computer, I would not have buy W8 at 49$ before...

So, they filmed it wrong?

On the case page, from fry's, it list a 400W PSU. If is is a cheap unit, then it may have problem powering this computer. I've seen good quality 350W getting better result than cheap 450W. To be honest, I would first try another PSU. If the 12v rail is too weak, the HDD will be unreliable. If...

maybe you 420W psu is not up to the task. What brand and how old is it?

look online for motherboard that support AM2+ cpu up to 125w. you hav DDR2 memory I guess, so search for that.

Just make sure the BIOS is updated to the right version that support new CPU before making the switch.

you are trying to run a CPU that draw 125W in a mobo that is good for 95W for phenom...

try to raise voltage for the memory. the update might have mess a bit the timing and voltage. give it a notch over the specification. I had to do that on mine.. the memory is a bit faster after the upgrade, but I had some trouble. I think I had to give 0.05 volts and I didn't had a single...
