boot problem with abit th7-II Problem is as follows... this morning when I booted, everything in biosbootup was going slow, took him 30 seconds to get to idecheck, and then it stopped. no boot into windows, just freezing. he gives errorcodes on the led that i do not find in the booklet, but he stays on 75 quite long (75 is ide-check) restarting and clearing cmos didn't give me a thing... I can get the pc into bios, where all settings haven't changed, after cmos reset/optimalized settings feed, the same problem occurs... I thought maybe it was a problem with the hdd...and a corrupted install of windows, quite early in the bootprocess for that, but anyway... so I tried booting from cd rom which went but it took LONG to get thru that and even before starting to reinstall/format I get a BSOD saying : pagefault in nonpaged area what to do? |
Did you flash you're BIOS ? (guess not since you're not mentioning that, but just asking to be sure) |
bios was flashed some 6 weeks ago, I've had no problems since then... could that be the problem? |

Tried reinstalling win2k and winXP : nothing, during installation (always after the same amount of time) it would freeze. Ultimately I installed win98 and that worked ??? Searched the internet and found out that the new BIOS I flashed to wasn't compatible with win2k and winXP and a AMD XP. Pr0lly not the same prob you got, but you never know ;) You could try flashing it back to the old BIOS, if everything other fails... |

well, just flashed my bios to the last official one... same problem nothing changes... no boot... since I can flash my bios, I don't think my ram is at fault, you have 100% load in biosflash... what can I try now? could it be the HDD? I never had any problems with it... I rally don't know what's going on... and I can't solve it... |
anyone? :( |
might give that thought a go ... is your HD detected in the BIOS without any problems (well, after the 30s IDE check that would be) ? maybe try booting with another HD ... might not seem to be related to this matter, but try booting with the bare necessities --> no CD/DVD etc ... |
there's no dvd/ no cd. only the floppy and the HDD don't have any spare one, and taking this one here out is more than an hour work (****ty premade and soldered case ) damn! :( |
try to boot without something on the ide-port. see if you get an error. |
yep... unplugged the HDD : pc boots straight thru passed the 75. no probs at all. just stops cuz' there's no disk but the booting is ok... I've changed the rounded cables to some standard ones : no difference... I'm not 100% sure but everything points @ the hdd... damn, my l33t WD 1000 BB-SE 8Mb cache is gone... i'll look that bill up, cuz' it's just some months old... it was running fixed pci/agp all the way.... what could've killed it? |
previeus OC maybe ? |
damn I also have that HDD :| |
it could be that this one was made on a monday. WHAT MAKES THINGS CRASH could be a subject of a never ending story;) |
any sudden fluctuations in the electric net past few days? didn't have a short-circuit on the HD when adapting something inside your case or something? i don't presume you dropped your case or something like that ... if it's only a couple of months old you'll still have your warranty on that thingie ... daing, OC'ing/love for PC is an expensive hobby :( |
it's the wd that is dead. changed it by a maxtor 40 gb... and all is ok... damn, it was 1.fully tweaked, that's two hours of work 2.savespots in sof2, dungeon siege (third time this happens...), ... 3.loads of screenshots lost and two 3dmarkresults above my current (just a little bit, I had a 14128 and a 14164... what destroyed it... I will never know... another RMA... |

you really should tell me what you do in those two hours. I tweak my system in about 10min, i must be missing some tweaks... actually, in two hours a format/install and tweak my whole OS :D |
check if you can boot with both HD's attached, maybe you can save some data. |
idd, certainly if you had different partitions as I do, its possible to rescue some stuff (if partitiontable ain't fux0red) |

you may use my savegames if you want |

Me too, I wonder what those tweaks are, imagine what I could do with them (me too lazy for searching and testing, just benching with fresh xp install) :D |
