How do I uninstall safely an AMD Athlon Processor?

Answer 1

Make sure you're grounded then remove the heatsink. Lift the little lever (ZIF) and pull it straight up. You may want to store it in a plastic bag or something. Do not use a magnetic screwdriver to remove any screws, if necessary.



I have an Athlon processor, and there is no option to remove the driver from within the Add/Remove section of the Control Panel. Also, I'm afraid I don't understand the response below this one. Removing and/or upgrading a processor has nothing to do with your hard drive data other than installing replacement drivers.

Answer 2

Go to control panel, add or remove programs, and look for the amd athlon driver.

Answer 3

Actually its better if you save all your information stored on your hard drive and install the new processor and act like a new computer you can find help and instructions in www.zdnet.co or www.cnet.com that might help, also the instructions that come with the processor.

Answer 4

go to:

start

control panel

add, remove programs

remove amd athlon

Answer 5
