i7 960
About this tag
The i7 960 is a first-generation Intel Core i7 processor based on the Bloomfield architecture, released in 2009. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss issues related to systems built around this CPU, such as DVD/CD drives not recognizing blank media in Windows 7. Troubleshooting topics include driver detection, firmware updates, and device recognition in the operating system. While the i7 960 itself is not the direct subject of these threads, it appears as part of the hardware context for legacy Windows 7 builds and related peripheral problems.
I just built this PC and it had no trouble using the DVD/CD drives to load the operating system, GPU drivers etc. However, the drives don't recognize any type of blank media (CD or DVD) and I have tried several brands that I had around the office.
