# The CPU is not configured to run nTop because AVX is not enabled

## Issue:

Why do I get this error message? The CPU is not configured to run nTop because AVX is not enabled.

## Applies to:

* nTop Hardware

## Cause:

This is a new warning label that was introduced in nTop 3.2, letting you know that you may experience crashing or the system not working since your CPU is not configured to run AVX.

## Solution:

nTop needs a CPU with AVX enabled to run properly. If you receive this error, you need to enable AVX on your CPU (this is best done through your IT department) or upgrade your CPU to one that has AVX enabled. When choosing a new CPU, please refer to our [System Requirements Guide.](/help-articles/access-and-installation/system-requirements/system-requirements-guide)
