Acer Aspire T160 R02-B1 With Unlocked Overclocking Options
#17
Bumping this for a fresh question..

I have this FC51GM board from an Aspire E360.. I am putting together a computer for someone who is going to give it to his mother.. No need for anything fancy or powerful, all she's going to do is use it for internet, email, and solitaire, so it'll do. I've been running the board in an office computer for years with 7x64, no issues.

Well now he wants it to have Win 10 on it.. Fine, no problem.. After I put a fresh copy of 7x64 on it, I used the MCT to force the 10 download, it started no problem, then WHAM.. You can not install Windows 10 on this computer because your processor does not support CompareExchange128 (cmpxchg16b).

I really don't want to have to reinstall the x86 version, and I've heard many people have fixed it simply by updating the bios because the processors actually do support it, the bios just isn't passing it along (It's an Athlon FX-55).. This board has R02-A1, and I'm chasing my tail trying to find a valid download of R02-B1 (or later if available), so I don't know if it's something that was already fixed or something that can be modded in? I can't find anything on whether or not the FX-55 actually supports that instruction, but I've found anecdotes that Sledgehammer and Clawhammer were supposedly the first AMD64's to have it.

Thanks for any info you can give me!
