Guest nellie2 Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 what I shall do is try booting on each stick of memory seperatley... just incase I have a duff stick of memory. But I don't think I do.... I shall also look for an update to my bios...... then after I have thrown the pc out of the window and jumped up and down on it a few times I shall reformat and reinstall..... then take it from there.Thanks for the help!!!

mark2 Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 One step at a time, Nellie, with your hardware have you thought of trying the Ultimate Boot CD to check memory, HDs etc ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boris Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 try taking that stick out I sent you.ellas,Just a thought ?That wasn't the stick which screwed up your old mobo was it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-pops- Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I find it strange that there are six pages trying to help out but not a single mention of a backup (that I could find).Please don't say you haven't a system backup - you do have, nellie, don't you?Whenever I've had problems even slightly similar to this, out comes the backup and the whole system gets renewed from that. I just can't be bothered to sort out problems the way you are doing. I admire your patience for trying but, it certainly ain't for me.I do a weekly full system backup to a separate hard drive in a removable caddy using DI7. I also do daily files and settings backups using the XP backup. This is on a rotating "grandfather, father, son" basis.Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 This is a new installation -pops- don't think it's been on and stable long enough to back up or image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 No it had only been on for a week.... so Im not really worried about the reformat except that I will have lost an email address from my inbox.... but that is ok, I can contact the person another way.I tried booting on seperate sticks of memory last night, no difference. I don't know why all of a sudden the system decided to do this.... most strange. I didn't download anything or do anything strange. All I was doing prior to this was inputting a load of birthdays into Outlook!!Anyway, the drive got repartitioned and reformatted last night in the end, I am at work right now, I shall hopefully have time tonight to finsih off reloading windows and resetting up.Thanks for the help :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 I didn't realise it was a new machine/installation.In all builds that I have done (quite a number) the occasional rogue machine that behaves as yours seems to be doing got completely stripped down and rebuilt in stages starting with an absolute minimum of hardware.If the machine was a new commercial one, it would be back to its maker as quick as I could unplug it from the wall.

I think I have my facts right. Nellie did try to upgrade to x\p a while ago but seemed to have problems with the via chipset on the board. After extensive investigation nell reverted back to 98 and the machine was stable.Nell then purchased a separate boardThe board is a K7VT4-4X-8Xhere is where I got the manual fromhttp://www.asrock.com/support/index_manual.htm and started a new thread on it's installation http://www.windowsforum.org/support/forum/...?showtopic=5342nells thread with a view of running x\p on the updated machine.Now, unfortunately, she has run into more problems.Hope I have that right Nell.

-pops- Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Apologies for being confused and confusing.In these circumstances, by comments about rogue machines apply and also my comments made in my reply to poppy's threadhttp://www.windowsforum.org/support/forum/index.php?showtopic=5563 about installing an absolute minimum of anything when starting a new system.Hope it works out OK, nellieBrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nellie2 Posted October 24, 2003 Report Share Posted October 24, 2003 Yes monkeyhanger you just about have the nail on the head there.... thanks also for your input -pops- whether it is relevant or not it is nice to know that people are taking an interest. :)I have a bit of a history with things not going quite to plan, I suppose if nothing else it makes for a bit of entertaining reading on the forum!!! :DI will get there in the end and I know I threaten to throw it out of the window and jump up and down on it, but I love my PC to bits and can forgive it almost anything!!!!

Guest nellie2 Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 Just as a matter of interest..... I had problems again today with exactly the same thing happening and exactly the same errors in my error log.After a bit of a discussion with a friend I downloaded some Nvidia drivers. I loaded the 4 in 1 drivers for my chipset and put the graphics ones in a folder for later, thinking I was going to have to reformat AGAIN.However..... and it hasn't been very long behaving itself but..... the chipset drivers might just have done the trick. :D :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
