help me! computer boot problems
Thread Solved |
please help me. i have had my computer for just over a year now and when i went to turn on my computer after school, its fans went to max rpm and only no input signal appeared. then after a few attempts to reboot, it was working again. but it's doing this every time i try to restart or turn on after shutting down.
i know its not a PSU problem because i replaced it with a 300W one that came with my pc. (took out the 8800 first of course)
also these problems started when my pc would not allow me to use a PCI-E card like my 8800 anymore it just started using onboard
here are my specs, (what i know)
Mobo: some sort of ASUS AM2
CPU: AMD Athlon X2 +5200 Dual-Core (2.7GHz each core)
Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 800GTS BFG OC
PSU: Codegen 530W
HDD: 2 IDE hard drives (80GB) (40GB)
RAM: 1.7GB 600MHz
OS: Windows XP Home edition x32
Fans: 2
I personally think this might be either a POST, CMOS or motherboard error but no error beeps are excreted by the internal speaker.
if you like, i will be on MSN most of the time and will be listening to any suggestions

if this helps, i saw this in the event viewer but it only appeared in the event viewer when i turned on my pc, i didnt even have to go through the blue screen of death!
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x0000008e (0xc0000005, 0xddf7ccaf, 0xefe98670, 0x00000000). A full dump was not saved.
PLEASE dont tell me this is a CPU/MOBO error since i just bought the CPU a few weeks ago and the mobo i cant really afford to replace for a while...

That error code is indicates a kernel-mode application generated a memory access violation. I see that you have two RAM sticks so try pulling one, then swapping with the other [put the single stick in the first RAM slot..].
On the other hand it could be the actual application at fault - drivers. Can you try starting in Safe Mode.... note the last driver listed.

thank you for the help, i shall try the RAM swapping. but theres a problem, i forgot to list i have 3 512MB sticks and a single 256MB stick.
and that i have had these RAM stick's at minimum for 8 months
AND its hard to start the pc at all because 70% of the time it doesn't POST. just displays no input signal as soon as i go to turn it on, the above post tells of the fans at max RPM until i restart it enough times in order for it to POST and boot up, one mistake i made was with my AMD Athlon X2 +5200 (2.7GHz each core) i forgot to plug in the fan. but it works out well because im using the same CPU to post this message.
by the way... Safemode shall not prevail in a hardware error ='-S

Ok, try just one 512MB stick... if it works just keep adding sticks and restarting, if it does not work try another....
I'm not going to try to second guess your mobo type... it's not one that has RAM dedicated to each processor is it?

Yep, each core has 1 or 2 MB on chip for speed buffering, but not much will happen without some RAM.

I agree with Gerbil: it sounds like a memory problem but then you say you hear no beeps?! You would normally hear something.
Although you are confident that your PSU is OK, it could still be power related. Please try the following:
1. Remove everything (disconnect HDDs, CD/DVDs, floppy drives, remove graphics and all other cards, remove memory).
2. Remove and refit the cable connections to the MBD.
3. Try. You should hear some beeps (and the fans turning: if the fans don't turn it's your PSU).
4. If you don't have an onboard graphics card, install the card and try again.
5. Try each memory individually or in pairs as necessary.
6. If you get a combination that works, reconnect your boot disk.
7. If all is still good, replace the other components one at a time until the offending component is identified.
Good luck
