I recently installed a new p4 3.2 northwood cpu into my gigabyte 8ipe1000pro mothorboard. Upon booting up I get the system32 \hal.dll error.
I have checked the cpu temp (its at around 60c) If I put the previous cpu in (p4 2.6) the machine starts up no problem and enters windows without any error.
I did an os reinstall, but it would either hang up on reinstall or give me the same message.
Once I did get into windows but the computer shut off after about an hour and cam back on with the same message system32\hal.dll
Any ideas??
