I went to PC World with my dad yesterday because he wanted to upgrade his PC. We bought a new motherboard, an Athlon 64 bit processor, and 1Gb of DDR400 RAM, a new PSU and a PCI Express graphics card. I've got the machine booting, but it's using the 32 bit version of Windows.
If I try to boot it using the XP 64 bit installation disc, the installer freezes saying "Setup is starting Windows".
I got a floppy disk with the nForce ATA drivers on it. I tried getting Windows Setup to load the driver, but got an error that the driver is not compatible with the 64 bit version of Windows.
So I have bought a motherboard that supports a 64 bit processor, but doesn't have any drivers for a 64 bit operating system?!?!?!
Computers are sh!t.
