fast-forward to April 20, 2009..
my P4M900-M7-SE with dual core 3.4 ghz died around April 10, 2009 (no boot, no beep even with ram / video card / taken out). The mobo is no longer flat (concaved from Pentium D945 excessive heat).
I ordered and got my new mobo/cpu yesterday : Asus...

Guys, I'm still here (28 hours later).. haven't slept !!
Anyways.. problem solved !! and I want to share my final solution with you guys, since I'd spent that much time reading and trying all the tips that I could possibly find.
The objective again is : to mount...
oh where the hell is Jebus Christ when I needed him !! Been messing with these for 23 hours straight !!
anyways.. I found another tip -> http://episteme.arstechnica.co.../77909774/m/1400925745
and like you suggested.. I booted up to SAFEMODE then use the above tip to do driver clean up...
Hi erocool84,
What I did was boot up to safemode, then used Driver Cleaner Pro to wipe out the old video card.
Next I went to Computer Management and did a Scan for hardware change, then I point everything to the ASUS CDROM and everything with question marks got updated with the correct...
I think what Calvin says was.. boot windows WITHOUT the card reader, then see if your 500GB drive shows up as drive C. If it is, then shutdown and add the card reader then reboot and check again.
You might also want to try your 500GB on another sata port
I'm home sick so i'll be here if...
yeap you can take your pick of linux distros @ distrowatch.com I would recommend iso that is 700MB or less and make sure it says "LIVE CD". Then depending on the linux distro, you can then view your current hardware settings (number of cpu core, cpu speed, ram speed, etc) - its a quick...
oh yea FYI, my winXP (32-bit) is on a 15 GB partition, all my games on another partition.
I would love to wipe out my winXP paritition and fresh-install Vista-64, but then the headache will be how to access my games partition. What is needed so all my games will just work ? does it have...
Thank you both so much for your suggestions - I will try BOTH of your solutions :)
I would vote for fresh install but the problem is - I don't want to go thru all those hazzles of transferring ALL my steam games (counterstrike, halflife2, etc) and the rest of my 40+ installed games where I'd...
Hey guys,
Last August, I successfully made my 500GB harddrive (winXP + games) boot on another machine by following this...

Hi Atheus :)
THanks for the quick reply :) yeap ur right.. I have to add load. I added an old HDD and the voltages reads 4.76 vdc. So this proves my PS is good ? bad mobo /or cpu ?

from the pinout.. http://pinouts.ru/Power/atx_v2_pinout.shtml
i want to ADD something since I'm on the same boat - the GRAY wire "PWR_OK" (pin 8) should read 5 volts even if its on stand-alone test (jumper pin 16 to ground) ? cuz im reading something like 95mv.
Please do the same test and...
im on the same boat as you !
the barebone that I'd put together last August 2008 died last night !
upon turning on power: HDD red light turns ON and stays ON, power green light stays OFF.
* I have took out the battery and cleared the CMOS then restore.
* I have took out all the RAM...
Hey guys,
I'm not 100% if this is the right forum for this problem -- the barebone that I'd put together last August 2008 died tonight ! I just need troubleshooting advice..
upon turning on: red light (hdd?) turns ON right away and stays ON, green light (power ?) stays OFF and never...
