Socket A, come to think of it, some XP based chips did appear on S754 if I remember correctly under the value chip moniker (Duron?).

Edit: Low end early on S754 Sempron's I think it was.

It may just be one of those rare occasions that a fresh install is needed.

Yep probably. You might like to try installing the Dual Core Optimiser from the AMD site to see if that solves the problem, but I reckon you'll need to reinstall :(

I'd try running the XP install CD and running a 'repair' on the current install first.

It might fix it and you wont lose all your current settings and installed proggys.
 
well, it works if i choose last known good config.... and also in safemode too... so all hope is not yet lost!

Still trying things

as i'm sure you can appreciate, i'd really like to try n not fresh install!

Alex
 
update:

somehow.. lots of last known config booting, n fiddlin, its working!! perfectly!

Miracle?! i don't know!

Yey! time to mess with dual-core-ness
