From: James on 3 Apr 2008 00:11 Just installed this X4 chip in my M2N-E. My BIOS is 1304 beta. Runs well under Vista SP1 with TLB disabled (sam2008's tools). Significantly faster than the old X2 4400+. However, something very weird has occurred. My audio has gone flakey. Lots of static. Comes and goes. So I put the old X2 chip back in, and the problem is gone. Could this be a bad 9500 CPU chip? It only affects the audio. Otherwise everything else works fine with the 9500 CPU. Also, I have a dual boot config. with Windows XP Pro SP2. Initially had BSOD under XP caused by a file called AMDLLD.SYS. I renamed the file and no more blue screen. My question is, what does this driver file do? I can't seem to get much info on the web about it. Anyone else? -James
From: tobe on 3 Apr 2008 10:59 AMDLLD.sys is part of AMD's "dual-core optimizer" program. Google that. See, e.g.: http://siteadvisor.pl/sites/4gamer.net/downloads/8670226/ Don't know if it would affect sound. You might uninstall the entire program and see if that changes things?

It is apparently a "Low Level Driver" from the AMD Dual Core optimizer. http://forums.pcper.com/showthread.php?p=4114589 So, the first question would be, whether the dual core optimizer is still a legit solution for the quad core. There is this thread, on setting up a multicore computer. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=60416 Paul

I tried the suggested muticore throttle mod (PerfEnablePackageIdle) But my XP SP2 machine slowed down noticeably, especially when booting....go figure. So I removed it. BTW, I do disable the TLB fix every time I boot. As for my audio problem, it comes and goes. Really strange. It will behave just fine for an entire day, and then out of the blue, the static starts again. It lasts for an hour or so, and then all is quiet again. This audio issue started with the replacement of my X2 with the Phenom 9500. My guess is that my M2N-E audio circuitry was probably marginal from the beginning, and the Phenom pushes it over the edge...? But I'm not an expert here. However the problem seldom occurs, and so I have decide to just live with it. James |
