This is a kind of bug and you can solve that problem by applaying the proccesses below.

First open %MATLAB7%\bin\win32 folder and find blas.spec file and open it. You will see the list like

/*

GenuineIntel Family 5 Model * atlas_PPro.dll # Pentium
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 1 atlas_PPro.dll # Pentium Pro
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 3 atlas_PII.dll # Pentium II (Klamath)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 5 atlas_PII.dll # Pentium II (Deschutes)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 6 atlas_PII.dll # Celeron
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 7 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III (Katmai)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 8 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III (Coppermine)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 9 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium M
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 10 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III (Cascades)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model 11 atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III (Mobile)
GenuineIntel Family 6 Model * atlas_PIII.dll # Pentium III
GenuineIntel Family 15 Model * atlas_P4.dll # Pentium 4
AuthenticAMD Family 5 Model * atlas_PII.dll # AMD-K6
AuthenticAMD Family 6 Model * atlas_Athlon.dll # Athlon/Duron
AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model 4 atlas_Athlon.dll # Athlon 64
AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model 5 atlas_Athlon.dll # Opteron

*/

Add the following lines to end of the list and restart MATLAB. That proccess should fix your problem.

AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model 12 atlas_Athlon.dll # Athlon 64 (Newcastle)
AuthenticAMD Family 15 Model * atlas_Athlon.dll # AMD64
