Yes, my name is cpuFAILURE. When a hard drive is plugged in backwards, the drives usually never start up. It is possible, that one of your ide devices (zip, cd-rom, hard drive) has gone sour, resulting in a "black screen of death". Try unplugging all of the ide cables in your pc...
I have a few things to say. Boy!!!! Fallyhag, you sure have alotta problems. Are they for real? You seem kinda computer saaaavvvvvvy, are you testing the group? Another thing, i read someones reply above """IF it's a power problem your computer wouldn't even...
It seems to me, you guys may have found the problem. Possibly a bad cpu. I can tell you this, today in my computer store, i had the same problems "invalid true type font" , weird errors, right before, windows started to do the installing. It took me about 10 mins to figure out it was...
Scott, it seems as if you were using some partioning software to get your 13 gig to work on a pentium 75. Usually, the biggest drive you can get to work is about a 8 gig, without software. The software lets you utilize the entire content of the drive. You may have to uninstall the software...
I actually have the promise ultra 100, and a maxtor 30gb. I installed in 2k fresh, with no problems. If you say sometimes the controller does not find the drive, maybe there is a connection problem? Try it using the onboard ide controller, to see what effects it has. If it reads and, and win...
Hey dude your in luck. I run a computer store, and use those motherboards all the time. Couple questions. New operating system? Are you using a serial mouse at all? What model motherboard? sis 810? sis 598? sis 599? Try and disable the serial ports in bios, if you dont use a serial mouse, or...
Deleteing just the windows dir, sometimes can take upto and hour, maybe more, ive seen it in my shop. You can "quickly" format the drive in about 10 secs, by typeing "format c: /q". Nice and fast. Wanne make it bootable too? "format c: /q /s". Sounds like you...
I have tried several Tyan s2390 motherboards and several Ati rage fury maxx video cards together, and as soon as windows comes up after installed drivers, just an icon with a black desktop, nowhere else. This is what i've done: disabled agp 4x, loaded failsafe options in bios, upgraded drivers...
I see your current dilemea. Buying a voodoo 3 3000 pci, is about the same price as the agp version. Once you get the pci, your still stuck with a non-agp card, rendering future upgrades, and a worse disaster. If he has money saved for the pci card, have him save about another 100 bucks or so...
