Hey people, I'm quite new in these forums. I have a problem with my Windows 2000/XP. I have a p3 motherboard with both Slot 1 and socket 370 (or whatever that number is), but I've a p2 350mhz installed. I tried to change my processor and upgrade to a p3 1100mhz, but everytime I tried, my Windows 2000 hangs up after aprox. 10 min running. Same problem with WinXP. Is there any way to change my processor without reinstalling my Windows? I have too much stuff and formatting would be a pain. Thanks a lot!

Ok, thanks all, I'll sacrifice my Windows when I upgrade (I don't want yet, enough processor, well at least by now , and I wanna keep my windows a while more... I don't like blank windows )

I don't think so, could be, so it can't be Windows? I'm sure I can't change a motherboard without reinstalling Windows 2000, but a processor... Anyway can a motherboard be changed without reinstalling w2k? I feel like a stupid... ;(

My memory is PC133. My cooling is ok. I don't know exactly what motherboard I have, all I can tell is that it has both Slot 1 and Socket 370, and it's a Pentium III motherboard. It's a Windows fail or it's a motherboard incompatibility with the Pentium III 1100? I also thought Windows can't fail with that. Ever happened? I think I could try with a 1000 or something. I have my 350 overclocked to 433, but always got the bus back to 133 when I tested the 1100.
