If the BIOS flash procedure does not help, I would suggest you take the board to where you bought it from and ask them for a replacement. It seems to me the board is to blame here.

Seems like your hard disk drive has gone bad. You'll need to get the HD replaced. Hope you backed up your data.

Did you check if the board and/or the CPU were overheating? Go to the BIOS and search for something like PC Health. Under this, check your CPU temperatures and post them here.

Actually, it's probable that the voltage surge fried your SMPS/motherboard. You could check the SMPS and the board on another machine to see if they're working.

Run a system scan for viruses/spyware. Once your system's clean, I suggest you run Windows setup and choose the upgrade option. This way, you'll restore any corrupt/missing files, and get your missing options back.

The system always boots from the first active partition, regardless of the number of HDs. I suggest you restart Windows setup and install windows on your first HD. this will take care of that error you're getting.

oops. forgot it's a new drive. :) Try swapping the RAM modules with known working modules.

have you formatted the destination drive? sometimes an old corrupt installation can play havoc with the setup routine

If they're XVid or DivX files, you will need separate codecs for them. I suggest the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. Google for the link.

Glad to help :)

Tell me. When the Media Players freeze, does it remain frozen till you reboot, or do you get control of the system after sometime. Also, when the MP freezes, can you launch other apps?

Check the Volume Control. Make sure that the Master Volume and Wave control aren't minimised or muted.

...and a matter of wanting the unattainable?

x64 is okay, if you dont mind the lack of drivers for some devices like my HP Deskjet 3325 printer. Interms of performance, I'd say an 8% boost in the feel of the OS, a better implementation of the TCP/IP stack. The look is the same as WinXP. Also, older 16 bit apps will just not run on x64. However, 32 bit apps worked just fine for me.

And restoring would mean formatting your HD and performing a fresh install

As a kid, I had this tendency of falling down. Either from a bike, or from the rooftop, or off a bed. Whatever. If anyone in my neighborhood heard a kid crying, they could be pretty sure I had fallen. I still have 3 scars on my head to show for it. Ahhh. Memories.

Generally, all setup routines defaukt the installation to C:\Program Files. But they also give you the option of installing the app in another partition/directory. If you want to permanently move the location of the Program Files directory, use TweakUI for the same.

I've seen this error when
1. The drivers have corrupted
2. The RAM is bad

Now, step 1 would be to check all the drivers are intact. Open device manager and make sure no devices have a red cross or a yellow exclamation next to them. If there are, you need to reinstall thhose drivers.

step 2 would require you to clean your RAM sticks. Next, check the RAM sticks on another computer to see if the problem recurs.

Your restore cache may have gone bad. Disable System Restore and then Re enable it. This will destroy all the earlier restore points and create a new one. System restore will function properly from now on.

PLease check that all data cables are connected tightly. Tis includes the FD cables, HD and OD cables.

or, my personal fave: format C: /u

<hehehehehe>

No, seriously. If you need to bering it back to the "new computer stage", I'd suggest you get your hands on the OS media and format the HD completely. Then, setup your OS afresh.

Oh, how do I put this: "ha ha"

That's meeee.....

I concur...

go to tools>folder options. Click the "View" tab. Under advanced settings, scroll to the very last check box titled "Use simple file sharing (recommended) and uncheck it. Click OK to exit.

Sorry if this seems like I'm hijacking this thread, but is it possible the other way round -- Running MacOS on a PC? That'd give us Windows users a taste of what the Mac is all about...

well, for future reference, I've seen this problem getting fixed by running a chkdsk on the drive. In your case, you have to run chkdsk /f C: from the command prompt. When asked if you wish to run the disk check on the next restart, choose yes.

How about simply deleting it?

Hope you had backups. (note to self: create backups)

Did you try a clean install of Windows after you flashed the BIOS? Sometimes, flashing adds some features and Windows detects it as a new board. This causes it to go nuts. (not a very technical explanation, I know)

Anyway, after you flash the BIOS, try a clean install of Windows. See if this helps.

Dani, any solution to this issue? Kinda bugging me a lot...

Although I think this is an issue with Firefix, and not with the site. Some of my friends with FF on Linux are having this problem. Can't comment on other browsers though. Sorry.

So what's the real procedure? Bribery? ;)

So is there a way to view the old site? Even if it's not functional, just for posterity's sake.

Please, Dani. Pretty please?

Hi
We prefer that you start your own thread and not piggyback your queries on someone else's thread.

Regarding your post, can yo uprovide more details? Is D: drive your CD Drive, a Hard Disk partition?

One more suggestion: Keep the page file size to 1.5 times capacity of your installed RAM.

What are the programs launching at startup?

The system applet is the system properties. The same as right clicking My Computer and choosing Properties fraom the menu

Actually, these accountsare automatically created by IIS, the Web Server which ships with Windows. If you don't use a web server on your machine, you can uninstall IIS from Add/Remove Programs>Add/Remove Windows Components. Once you've removed IIS, the accounts will be deleted.

Have you tried reinstalling the display drivers?
