My new computer is now giving me fitz! I built the computer and it ran perfectly, in fact it was just awesome. I went to Boston for a week and the first time I booted it up when I got back, it acted like the OS wasn't there... I reintalled the OS quickly to see if it would stay. It has stayed so far, but I now want to format the HD, and reinstall WIN XP cleanly. My MoBo has the code of FF showing, which my manual shows is:
1. Bios chip insertd incorrectly
2. Incorrect BIOS update version.
3. Mainboard problem
4. Add-on card inserted incorectly
Any thoughts on this?
Also I can't seem to get my HD formatted? I put in a boot disk that gets me to an A: but then the computer doesn't see any other drives, whats with that? shouldn't you be able to go to a c: and then format c: ? This is what is frustrating me. Is there some freeware I should have to help format this drive?
All my parts were bought through newegg so I gotta find the problem. Could the battery on the MoBo be dead? Could the HD be messed? Is it all the MoBos fault?
Please ask me any additional questions I could respond to, that could help me solve this issue.
