Ok, I have been having problems with one of my computers. Originally it was not posting, but would post maybe once in 50 times. I am going to post the previous problem so it can fully explain:
Hey hows it going. ok one of my older computers is not work. Acually lets just say now 2 of the 3 dont f*ck*ng work.... Ok what I need to know is - The computer started doing this about 2-3 days ago. When you shut it down, it wont just boot back up. The first time I had to try and start it about 15 times. The second, over 50, and now the third time (I accidently hit shut down instead of re-start) I have tried for over an hour and a half and it still wont boot. It has no problems restarting when it gets going, its just when you shut down completly. I am guessing it may have something to do with the hard drive, due to the fact that when it doesn't start up, there is no spinning noise coming from the h.d. just the CPU fan. Also when you try and start it and it doesn't post, you have to pull the power plug to get it to turn off. It doesn't work to hold down the power button. Help me and help me fast before I end up with 3 piles of computers in my living room!!! Thanks
So Now I think I have that problem taken care of. I'm pretty sure it was a stick of memory that went bad, cause once I took that one out, and used another stick, its posting fine. But now while I start it up right after it post's, it says that I have a 433E Mhz, which isn't right. I have a 533mhz. Then right below that it says CPU is unworkable it has been changed. Please recheck - "Softmenu III Setup" I have an Abit BX133 - Raid. Then it says hit F1 to continue or F8 for setup. When I continue, it boot's up into windows with no problem. But then it goes ETREMELY slow. When I click on a folder to open it. It takes 10-15 seconds. Any idea's?? Any help or idea would be greatly appreciated!! At least it booted. Bring me one step closer to sanity
