I am going to first tell you how I have things set up so you can try to help me out as best as you can.
About a month ago, I put together my computer. I have a Lian Li mid-size case, an AI7 Abit Motherboard, Nvidia GeForce 6800 Video Card 128MB GDDR 256 bit, Antec 550W Power Supply, Intel Pentium 4/3.0E GHz 800MHz Processor, A Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu Pure Coper Heat Sink, Two sticks or Corsair XMS Extreme Memory at 512 MB each, A Floppy drive, 80 Gig Wester Digital Hard Drive, A Lite-On 52X32X52 CD-WR Drive, A DVD+RW/-RW Drive, Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS PCI Sound Card, 4 fans and a fan control panel. I also have my old hard drive in. A 40 Gig Western Digital.
I set it all up and my machine worked great until a few days ago. I kept getting an error from windows xp pro saying there was a serious error, everytime I restarted the machine. A day before this, I went to the Abit-usa website and downloaded a USB driver. Usb2.0.2 or something like that. I thought that was the problem so I uninstalled the driver and deleted it from the machine, and restarted three times with no problems. I went to work yesterday and got home this morning. (I'm a firefighter and work 24 Hr. shifts). I tried to start up and got a beeping sound. I checked all the fans and everything was spinning fine. I went into bios and made my first boot with the CD drive and put the widows xp pro cd in and ran a repair on the machine. It seemed to work and booted right up. I went back into bios and set the first boot back to Hard Disk and started up again with no problems.
Am I having some power problems? Am I running to much on the north bridge? Should I re-wire things and take out the old hard drive? Should I reset bios with the CCMOS function? I'm lost. Please help?
Thanks in advance.
