ok i recently had to reload window onto my computer .. xp pro
to make a long story short ... this is what is happening when my computer boots
on the bios screen .. at boot up ..
1. mother board is first item .. ga-k8nf-9
2. normally next item would be cpu amd 4000+ but it doesn't show up
3. next would normally would be ram 1024 ok but it doesn't show up
sometime i can get 2 and 3 to show if i hit del and go into bios config and exit ..
4. next is cpu clock
then .. a long pause .. a lot longer than it used to be
5. detecting ide drivers ... does all that normally
then i go to screen that says
please select operating system
windows xp
windows xp
with a clock counting down
the top windows xp is a good install but the bottom is messed up and wont boot....
it looks like i have 2 copies of windows xp .. thank you .. i know only few people in this world can screw up a computer like me ..
so if could understand what i just wrote i have 2 questions
1. why does the boot up miss cpu id, ram test and is very slow booting in general
compared to before
2. can i uninstall the bad copy of windows without killing good copy ...
it takes so long to install windows and get computer up and running right i don't
want to do it again ...
the computer works find once its up and running ... bf2 run smooth
thanks
