Windows on new comp
Just built a new computer,
Soltek SL-75MRN Mobo Corsair Twinstx pc3200 512 400 mhz ddr Athlong XP 2500 Radeon 9500 Western Digital HD (40 gig) 470 thermaltake psu Win2kpro The bios and ram and cpu all test fine on boot. Computer boots, and will go into windows. Problems start when I go into windows. Explorer crashes. I get physical memory dumps. Windows update won't work. File corruption on games that I install. Just curious as to why the hell this is happening, and what I need to do to fix it Thanks |

Did you change anything in your BIOS that might have contributed to this ?

If you're getting cdfs errors, you may want to check your IDE cables (both your CD-ROM and hard drive) because data likely is getting corrupted. You may also want to do a low-level scandisk to see if your hard drive has bad sectors.

Would that also be why things are crashing in explorer?

Yea. Tested the mem. Works just fine. I even threw it in another computer and it worked. Im really stumped on this problem. I just get all kinds of weird errors in windows.
List; Windows update goes to 100 percent, but says there is nothing to update. Explorer crashes. File corruption. Things that I dl wont fnish cause stuff like update.exe crashes. Cyclic reduncy errors when transfering. Ive switched out IDE cables to ones that ive been using on a working comp and that doesnt seem to work either. HELP |
