I (my roommate) have a Toshiba U205 S5057 originally equipped with Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 CPU, 1G Ram, 160G HDD
I've upgraded: Ram to 3G (enough to run Wins7 32-bit pro) on 240G Crucial M500 SSD
I also bought an used T7200 CPU on ebay and put it in, but I got Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) right after windows boot up and goes into desktop. Only if I use safe mode, I dont see BSOD anymore (Windows does recognize CPU T7200 @ 2.00GHz 2.00GHz so CPU may work???). BIOS version is 3.30, RAM and HDD is working properly (testes in other laptop), I put the T5500 back and everything is working fine again, no more BSOD
I did remove cpu driver and let windows install new one (safe mode with networking mode), still not helped.
I tried to re-install windows (delete all old partitions and do fresh install through dvd optical drive), bsod again right after I choose partition, so it may not be the driver (or not...), at this point I have to put T5500 back and re-insall windows, haven't put T7200 back since then.
I dont want to flash bios, it is v3.30 now (latest is 3.50 - both released in 2007) and I dont know how to do it, don't want to brick this brick )
What you guy do when first put new cpu in? What cause of problem here, anybody had changed CPU before, what are needed steps I would need to follow?
