daveb47 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Thought i would upgrade my elderly pc....? Bought what i thought was an appropriate Mb/cpu CPU Type QuadCore AMD Ryzen 3 2300X, 4000 MHz (40 x 100) CPU Alias Picasso Gigabyte A320M-S2H V2 Mb Just found Cpu does not support Windows 7 64 bit Cant get on with windows 10 So i need a AMD Pinnacle Ridge, Summit Ridge or Bristol Ridge CPU. Any ideas anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alloneword Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 You have found another way they are shafting your choice, i know alot of MB manf dont give drivers for 7 so i know about that didn't know about cpu before you bin it or return it, chck if there is a workaround on google there maybe a way round it but i fear it's a return or ebay job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could not agree more Dave, I went away a while ago for some alone time with a new fresh instal of 10, even when you converted everything to make it look like 7 it still took ages to load (M.2 drive) and just seems slow compared to 7, if i was going to hang around i for sure would be looking at the move to the big bird Might be time to look at it Dave?

cobra Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 It's not the hardware per se that's stopping you from Windows 7 but more to do with the UEFI BIOS they are slowley blacklisting older software and drivers ISOs It's to phase out 32Bit at the end of this year 2020 no 32bit software will be supported anymore that's Windows / Linux "ubuntu been the first" iOS Android all being 64bit only going forward. Adobe are even sunsetting flash player the end of this year. It's all been done in the name of security "and to save cash" did you know over 80% of computer virus are 32bit so switching off 32bit kills 80% of virus anti virus software will run a lot better and faster if it only has to scan in 64bit.

Alloneword Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Christ Dave where did you buy this from please don't say shpock or gumtree or anything like that? If it's not been used for ages, take out the cmos battery short out the start pins and give the pins on the MB a small rub down with a nail file to make sure there is a decent connection, that is my only suggestion.

daveb47 Posted June 3, 2020 Author Share Posted June 3, 2020 Back to plan b. Managed t0 find cpu that works on new mb,that will work with W7. Question. The on mbu hd slot,which is the fast hd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 If it's a 2nd hand motherboard get a new cmos battery and don't get a cheap one it's important that a PC keeps good time. you can get Energizer CR2032 Lithium Coin Battery pack of 4 on Amazon for £2.38 on a motherboard they are good for about 4 or 5 years each. As for the power LED flip the connector on the motherboard Red and Black wire to the LED see if this fixes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
