i dont see why you can't help me because im not askin for help with the copy of windows im askin for help to resolve the problem with proccesor and i dint mention about it being a copy untill randy asked.

does any1 else have any other ways i could try to resolve this??

hi i have tried a reinstall 3 times but still have the same problem and realy need to resolve it.

yes the copmputer did work after i put the cpu and the new drive but by default windows has a admin account and when you create a new user account the default is ment to dissapear but it hasnt and windows boots straight into the default admin account when in safe mode. also some times it wont boot into windows, i get the message "warning! now system is in safe mode. please re-setting cpu or memory frequency in cmos setup"then under this message it says press f1 to continue or del to enter setup. if i press f1 it still just boots into the default admin account.

hi randyl, yes i have put in a new cpu and hard drive and then installed windows on to the drive. and i installed windows from a copy but have had no problems with the copy before. the problem first occured when i created a user account and the default admin account didnt disappear so i restarted the pc and then got the message saying "warning! now system is in safe mode. please re-setting cpu or memory frequency in cmos setup" and have been stuck in safe mode since.

thanks PseFrank, i tried the Last Known Good Configuration part but that didnt work also the system restore i carnt do as its a new hard drive and only the os has been added to it. i can get to the Windows Advanced Options Menu but thats not how i get into safe mode, when i start the computer up it gives me a message saying "warning! now system is in safe mode. please re-setting cpu or memory frequency in cmos setup" so its booting itself into safe mode. LinkindinkinPark i took out a pentium D cpu and yes i checked to see if a pentium 4 was compatable with my motherboard and in the board manual it says it is. any more ideas to try guys???

i have removed the battery and left it out for about 40 mins then put the battery back in and restarted the pc but still stuck in safe mode any other ideas??? really need to resolve this problem.

thanks maynardvdm i will try that and let you know if it works or not.

hi PseFrank, i have tried reloading the defaults in the bios but it hasnt made any difference im still stuck in safe mode any other suggestions i could try???

Hi, i have bought a pentium 4 2.8 Ghz HT CPU and have correctly fitted it into my pc but now my pc always boots into safe mode and some times displays a message saying "warning! now system is in safe mode. please re-setting cpu or memory frequency in cmos setup" do you no how i can sort this problem out??? My motherboard is a P5ND2-SLI and operating system is windows xp just incase you need this info any help is much appreciated, thanks
