Updated my nFource 4 drivers this morning, but still no luck. Did some Google work and found many people with the same issue... Seems to be incompatibility with older 64 bit AMD processors...my Athlon 64 X2 was repeatedly mentioned. So I have installed the 32 bit version and will go with that...

So no luck. Ran the upgrade adviser, only found a couple of minor software issues. So ran the Win 8 upgrade from the download option, all went well until...... The first reboot. Then it locked up at the small, blue window logo...just like with the DVD.:( Hit the reset and it gave me the...

Good idea. I did that with XP before I bought, but never tried it in 64. It's worth a shot to see what it tells me. After work tonight or tomorrow I'll give it a go. Bob

Yes, I was there last night, but no luck. They direct you to the chipset manufactures. Took the nVidia link, looked for the nFource 4 drivers for my MB and they only list nFource 5 and up. I'll dig a little deeper when I get home tonight. Thanks for all the help, Bob

Post up how it works for you...I am having a heck of a time going from XP32 to Win 8 64 on an older AMD 64 machine. http://www.eightforums.com/installation-setup/15498-replacing-win-8-pro-32-bit-64-bit-how.html#post158761

Nope, don't work. Tried it both ways. From inside windows, (Vista 64), and booting from 64 bit DVD. I tried booting from the 64 bit DVD more than once and it won't even start. Just hangs at the blue window icon and goes no further. Even tried it with a clean drive more than once. The 32 bit...

The AsRock MB in my profile is my main computer....which is still running Win 7. I have Machspeed MSNV-939 in the machine I am trying to get Win 8 64 bit working. UPDATE: The 32 bit version of Win 8 will boot fine for install...the 64 bit won't...

Negative results. The computer will not boot with the Win 8 64 bit DVD. It will with the Vista 64... It will with the Win 8 32 bit... Tried the DISKPART clean option with both the Vista 64 and the Win 8 32 bit, but the Win 8 64 bit will not boot. Locked at the little blue window startup...

OK...I'll try that tonight. Thanks for the welcome...I've been a member of SevenForums since Jan 09, so this is just the next step.;) Bob

I upgraded my older, XP machine to Win 8 Pro. I did the on-line upgrade and all went well. Turns out it was a 32 bit install, even though the PC was 64 bit capable. (I understand now this is due to upgrading from XP) Yesterday I received my back up DVDs and decided to upgrade from the 32 bit...

Bringing back this thread... I ordered my backup DVD on 11/23 and got shipment notification on 11/28, but still don't have it. So two weeks and nothing. Worry? Don't worry? Bob T.
