Hello everyone!
Please give me some hints what could be wrong in this setup:
XP 1800+
Epox EP-8K3A
Samsung PC2700 256 Mb
MSI GF3 Ti 200
3COM 905B NIC
The cpu is running at 50 degrees Celcius at 1800+ (1533Mhz right ?).
It started with some minor problems to get W2K installed... It went through half the copying of the files when it said one file was corrup and the installation had to be aborted. To get it going again I had to FDISK first.
Got W2K installed second try. Windows work normal with standard VGA drivers.
I installed 4in1. Installed Detonator drivers from MSI CD. And voila!
When the computer is supposed to show the desktop it hangs. Every time at the exact same place (just when it has loaded all drivers and should bring up the desktop).
I set the BIOS settings to "failsafe" = still No Go
Lots of tries with different things and LOTS of reboots.... AND finally at one startup it says that one system file is corrupt!
Now I set bios to "failsafe" settings and clock with 100 Mhz bus (= 1150 Mhz) (cpu runs at 40 Celcius).
I reinstall W2K again and do everything like every other time (4in1, w2ksp2, new ref driver from nVidia etc)
Still hangs at exact same place. (When it should bring up the win desktop at boot)
Is there something wrong with this graphic card?? or Motherboard ?? or the combo ? (Cant imagine that the cpu is the fault)
Please gimme me something to go on here....
