to all u comp freaks

[Dwali]

can someone help me with my comp...i was playing WoW 3 weeks ago and the comp just rebooted....normal for me...then after 5 min it did it again...and 3:de time i got blue screen and couldent start it up!

so i tryd reinstall the OS but get blue screen everytime i try reinstall...i have tryd remove my Rams and check them spot after spot to check if they work right...they did...my hdds i put in my 2:nd comp and did a diskdrive check with all progs i had...all working 100%,try remove the cables 1 by 1 and try...moved around my pci cards and tryd... (cant move my GFX cad since i only have 1 pci-e slot in comp) tryd set settings to factory and tryd...still blue screen!

my comp is Intel 3 ghz 1.5 gb ram 533 mh ddr2 memory GF 6600GT 128 mb ddr2 gfx card and the rest...the motherboard is MSI platium edition (bout a upgrade kit)

so what can be wrong when i get blue screen all the time during install of OS?

Corrupt disk?

What does that blue screen tell you? normaly there is a message on that bluescreen

 

[Dwali]

it says stop and some xxxxxxxx etc nrs...says i need to disconnect my hdds and do a chskdks on then wich i have done 3 times and nothing wrong with any of my 8 hdds

those 0x???????? numbers are exactly the important bit...

also, don't move cards around, but remove 'em fully safe for the basics.
Try to install with 1 HD, 1 optical, 1 memcard and GFX card installed. If that doesn't work, try a different Harddrive, and the other memcard, different optical, you get the idea. Just the bare necessities.

 

[Dwali]

as i said i have tryd everything i can think of...and i fix the probs most of the times...but this 1 is driving me nuts

 

[Yeke]

Is it an original copy of windows if not try another (if you have not already)
Also worth trying a different keyboard/mouse had a problem similar to this once and it turned out to be a dodgy keyboard no idea why it should cause an error like that but it did.

At what point in the install does it blue screen?
is it allways the same point or random?

 

[meerclar]

i had this problem a couple of years ago and it turned out to be a stick of ram that was broken.

u are on to someting there...gonna ask some friends on a cop store if they have a memory checker i can borrow and check the rams

 

[Wuspy]

def the ram sticks broke, happend to me, u need to buy new ones.

Could be other things aswell..I had a problem VERY similar to this when installing windows and it couldnt coz it was dvd drive was on ide3 and winxp couldnt deal with that r0x windows. Had excactly same error as the memory one.

Download memtest and run it, if it gives error run 1 stick at a time. If it does not give any errors, still try to install with 1 stick, if it fails, try with the other, if it still fails its possibly the mainboard.

can memtest be used in dos then...since i have no OS on the comp

 

[SkarIronfist]

Yes memtest86 has 2 versions. One for a bootable CD and one for a floppy disk.

Take the floppy disk.

Its worth memtioning, sometimes it will report your memory is producing an error, which 95% of the time is accurate. But sometimes its the slot on the motherboard which is faulty, not the memory stick. Just bear that in mind.

Ok i tryd memtest last night before bed...slapt it on and went to bed...12 tests hade been made when i woke up and there was 0 errors on the 3 ramss i have in together

 

[razeredge]

im guessing u have more than 1 dimm in system since u have 1.5gb of ram, try each individually in each slot, and see if removing one causes it to stop, post the exact error 2, is important, can point towards something, ie unmountable boot volume/innaccessable boot device usually hard drive, google the error also, blue screen can be a number of things, easier to troubleshoot if u have the error

I would still try to install windows with 1 stick at a time in, if that doesnt work, I am fairly sure your psu isnt giving enough power for some reason, or your mobo is fried somehow.

I forgot, but you did try to install it to another harddrive right? You changed IDE/SATA-cables?

tryd everything

tryd everything

So you tried changing the cables, you changed the PSU, you ran 1 ram stick at a time, and you changed the mainboard?

Then its a heatproblem, clean your cooler from dust and hope the airflow gets better, run with the case open, and put a normal fan to help cooling the system down and see if it helps.

coler cleand...not 1 dust piece in comp...i always run with open box...testing rams now 1 by 1 (thank god for 2 comps and 3 monitors)

 

[noaim]

How hot is the cpu? Check the temp in bios just after you got the error message in the installation.

 

[Dwali]

lying steady on 52 degrees as it always have done

 

[Dwali]

i have fixt the problem...i send the MB back to the shop and let them check it and hope they resend me a new card

 

[evzy]
