BOOT PROBLEM SOLVED!
1) Dying/then totally dead CPU fan: fan was replaced
2) Very specific BIOS Settings ( very touchy: one off; it won't boot ) Not real simple to figure out which ones are right; manual doesn't go into much with a non-RAID setup, and RAID-releated Settings are Default on this...
Yes, I know the fan must be in operation to keep the CPU cool. The fan just started complete/or consistent inoperation this morning. This CPU and this mobo do automatic shutoffs when a certain temp is reached. (Evenso, during my BIOS Settings experimentation, I have been monitoring and turning...
1) I am testing with 1 SATA HDD on the ESATA110/1 Port location; but can't figure out what the BIOS Settings should be. ( This location ( 2 ports ) uses the Sil3132, when you do not have a RAID setup; ICH7R is used when the SATA ports in the other location are used ( 4 ports ). )
( The BIOS...

Stop 0X00000078/Boot Failure/Other Bizarre Problems )
My System was back to the Shop/Vendor again. ( Would not boot past Post, Windows Startup Mode Selection Screen, Windows Presentation Screen and the Stop Error listed above. )

1) I have seen NO NEGLIGIBLE CHANGE in Desktop load speed/ general operation speed since initial install ( just Compaq Installation CD content: tested BEFORE adding any other Software, Favorites, Documents, Cookies and Temps )and current state ( with current other...
Warranty for free repairs went off recently; but parts are still covered.
I'm thinking a send-in is the best bet at this point.
( My husband previously refused to do that, wanting to take it in to an Authorized Service Center instead; and there aren't any! )
Both of us, but especially me, at...
Yep. I agree stop codes are hardware-related; and Windows OS specific ( differing from one Windows OS version to another, to a certain degree. ) There is certainly, and was from the beginning, some sort of a hardware problem in this system.
These present symptoms are hardware-related; but...
My husband's Laptop (Compaq 2170US/WinXP Home SP1/704MB *(we doubled the RAM), 3Ghz Celeron CPU) has been problematic since purchase ( a little over a year ago ). Creepingly, crawlingly slow! Take forever to load Desktop, open a webpage, etc. Lockups, Windows errors/gotta close 'send error'...
Hi firewolfrl,
CPU:.....been suspicious of the CPU. It is the SAME CPU used in both the Intel setup and the current Gigabyte setup.
RAM: It was new with the Intel mobo; replaced when we swapped the Intel mobo for the Gigabyte mobo ( along with replaced Power Supply. Same kind of problems, no...
Engneer,
With Current problem, I have only a monitor, keyboard and mouse connected ( no USB Devices, and only the one SATA11 Hard Drive ).
I will see if I can chase down a non-SATA Hard Drive to test with.
I am not too familiar with the type of conflict situation you are describing:
