[buddhazen]

well as soon as i said something.............my pc is now having massive problems

im running an a7n8x, with barton 2500 with a cheap speeze hs/f

ive had the pc for about 3 months...everything was fine until today
first off my pc kept freezing and crashing while playing cs
and now it wont even load into windows
i get to the windows xp screen and then it resets back to the beginning
ive tried for a hour straight and nothing
now im lettin the other pc rest hoping its a heating problem

any advice appreciated

If you are, turn down your OC some.. That may be causing the problem.. eGo

[buddhazen]

everything is at default settings and my pc has been resting for an hour
it still will not pass the windows loading screen!!!
arghhh
temp in bios says 53 celsius

[wvjohn]

temp is high but no too high to boot - try going into bios and finding "failsafe" settings, ,ost mobos have one - then try working fsb back to 100 and see if that helps

i have a system that started doing - cheap mobo and xp combo - i never took the time time figure it our and just swapped in another system

usually heat or pwer issues

[buddhazen]

all i can get to is the windows loading screen
as soon as windows loads, my pc reboots

a7n8x with barton 2500
temps are at 42 celsius now
someone has to know something about this

im dying ehre guys

Bud,

I really think you've got a bad stick of ram. You should try switching them out and seeing what happens. I had the same problem (as did dad above) with a bad stick of memmory. Try one then the other (also mentioned above) and see how that works. If nothing, you may have to wait till you get my package and try that ram and see what happens. GL eGo

[buddhazen]

well its not the ram
just tried a different stick
this error absolutely baffles me
never had anything like this before happen

i mean my pc was runnin fine and all of a sudden this

[eGoCeNTRoNiX]

Safe Mode? You might try doing that and running a Virus Scan or something of that nature.

power supply? in bios, make sure your voltage readings are normal.

[buddhazen]

well same thing happens when i try to run in safe mode
it loads all the dlls and then restarts

i have to plug back in the pc to get u the voltages
will do it right now!!

[buddhazen]

all sorted guys!!
