| | Re: Phenom II It was a new computer so a fress install of Vista. If you are upgrading an existing machine with new motherboard and processor it may or may not work. Have had experience where it was no problem and another where it would not boot, requiring a re-install.

AMDDLL64.SYS.. dunno when/how it was installed, but believe it came with my motherboard chipset drivers on the install CD:-/ Anyway the solution is simple, the driver is located in \windows\system32\drivers and simply renaming it to ADMDLL64.SY_ cures the problem, and if you have to you can also uninstall it in device manager, it gets flagged once the driver is renamed:-) I cant be sure what package that driver came in, I installed a load of stuff from Nvidia as well for physX and system tools, SLI etc But I suspect it was in the chipset driver package from ASUS.. From the looks of it this is an AMD file possibly distributed to motherboard manuf's for AMD cpu motherboards.. I got the solution in part by googling the driver name... showed up in a web forum where more than one poster had had problems and cured them by removing/deleting the driver... Since I wasnt 100% sure at the time I just renamed it:-) Works for me..... Regards, Cliff |
