Windows won't go after Boot logo after new Processor

[ashnaanifer10]

I had a PC with Intel D945GCNL mobo and used it with an Intel Core 2 Duo
E4600. Now I got a new processor which is Intel Pentium E5800 which is slightly better than the one which I had. When I booted the PC I got BIOS screen but when it reached the Windows logo, it got stuck. I tried to reboot and sometimes it showed Startup Repair but nothing happened. Then I tried to use linux to boot and it worked seamlessly. That's when I found out that the PC was only booting in a 32 bit OS but not on a 64 bit. The Windows I used was 64 bit, so I tried to install Windows 7 32 bit and it worked fine.
My specs
Intel D945GCNL Motherboard
Intel Pentium E5800
Windows Insider Educational Build 64 bit
Geforce GT 710
Seagate 7200.10 RPM 250 GB

did you try to install the 64bit of windows doing a fresh install

Yes, when I try to boot from the cd, it shows the windows logo and then gets stuck there

Intel D945GCNL Motherboard only supports 2gb ram windows 7 64bit let you use over 4gb maybe thats a factor not sure i will post back as i am resarching

according to this https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005806/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards.html that board does not support the e5800 cpu

 

[ac13044]

does bios show your cpu and when you run linux did that identify your cpu also did the 32bit of windows doe the same

That Pentium is not supported by the D945GCNL motherboard; the fastest is the E7500: http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-Intel/D945GCNL.html

I've used windows 10 64 bit with 4 gb ram, it worked without a problem. Intel D945GCNL supports 4gb DDR2 RAM

Actually, the processor is on the list in this website. http://www.game-debate.com/motherboard/index.php?mot_id=2365&cpuList=Intel%20D945GCNL
Ok, if it doesn't support the mobo, then how is the 32 bit OS working ?

 

[ashnaanifer10]

Aand the bois shows the cpu, linux shows the cpu and 32 bit Windows shows the cpu too.

 

[ac13044]

yea then the cpu is supported then install windows 10 64bit

 

[ashnaanifer10]

yea then the cpu is supported then install windows 10 64bit

That is the problem ! When I try to boot the installation Disk, it just stops at the boot logo, and gets stuck

That site lists all CPUs that have the same socket as compatible; it fits, but it isn't supported. You need to check the manufacturer's site or cpu-upgrade.

You have 2 options:

1. Install a supported CPU like the E7200;
2. Replace the motherboard with one that supports the Pentium http://www.cpu-upgrade.com/CPUs/Intel/Pentium_Dual-Core/E5800_motherboards.html There are several Intel motherboards, but not the one that you have.

If that is the problem, how is 32 bit working flawlessly ?

 

[GhislainG]

I don't know why 32 bit works flawlessly, but you could ask Intel (don't expect an answer for such an old and no longer supported motherboard). Use 32 bit if that meets your requirements and you want to keep that CPU. cpu-upgrade aren't sure the E7x00 are supported; if I were you I'd use the official list from Intel https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005806/boards-and-kits/desktop-boards.html where the E6700 is the fastest CPU (a 15% improvement over the E4600 - it may not be worth it even if it was free).

Something is wrong with your windows 7 64 install media maybe. It might need a more up to date version.

Anyway I'm changing the processor to the old one, becuase I'm using the 64 bit.
