HI guys,
I have a few problems that have emerged and could do with your help.
My PC was working fine, just as it has always been. But then I turned it on the other night and just after the windows loading screen the lights on the keyboard came on and then a black screen appeared.
When I reset the PC, I got the old "Windows couldnt start properly" message, I had the option to start windows normally or in safe mode etc.
This is what happened when I try each of the methods..
Safe Mode... I get a string of messages in white on a black background, saying all about windows/system32/drivers... and then listed all of the driver names. The system then hangs.
Starting windows normally just makes the PC hang again.
I have tried my memory with both sticks or just one stick and I get the same problems. I have also tried Memtest for 12 hours and it runs without errors.
Strangely I have tried to boot from windows CD on either of my HD's but I cannot boot from CD. The PC either hangs after the "loading windows" message or it says, "Diskette Error, please insert system disk".
I cannot enter any formatting menus to format with windows disk.
I am running out of ideas but I am guessing that my Motherboard is knackered??
Im assuming my CPU, GFX, MEM and HD's are all ok coz of what I have tested?
My System is:
4800+ X2
8800 GTS 768mb
DFI nf4 SLi-DR
OCZ Powerstream 600w
40gb Raptor
120gb Spinpoint
Creative XFI
PLEASE HELP ME! DO you guys have any suggestions?
