**UPDATE**
I took the drive to my local computer shop. They were able to retrieve the data using some sort of data recovery software to make a bit by bit copy of the drive. The bad drive has been junked.
The hard drive in my brother's computer started acting funny...he was getting sporadic reboots and then system files were missing upon reboot. Finally he kept getting a BSOD and could never recover from it. I replaced the drive and got his computer running again.
I put the troubelsome hard...
I'm going to keep the PSU I used to test the system so that I can get the computer built and all my programs installed. I'm waiting to hear back from Ultra Products about the procedure to RMA the PSU.
Thanks for all the help.
UPDATE 4/4/06
Received new motherboard, installed it and still can't get it to POST. At this point, all I have hooked up/installed is the VC, Processor & 1 stick of RAM (of which I have tried several different sticks).
I just noticed that the fan on my PSU (ULTRA X2) is starting and...
Ya know, come to think of it, I don't recall hearing any beeps out of the motherboard during the building process. EDIT...I checked a similar computer at work and it doesn't beep on boot-up.
When I was able to successfully boot and install Windows 2 days ago, I only had 2-512MB sticks of...
I just built a new computer for myself. I finished the project last night, hooked up a monitor and booted and installed Windows XP. I shut down the computer. WHen I turned it on this morning, nothing came up on the screen. I've tried 3 different monitors, re-seated the video card...
I have a home network of 5 computers set up and one of them doesn't have a use, so I thought about running it as a File / Print Server for the network.
I would love to be able to runl Windows Server 2003, and set up users with roaming profiles and such...but that is cost prohibitive for a home...
Yeah I do...and I know it will be a cinch....except for all the product activations I will have to go through :frown:
I have tried this....the install stopped on the precopying process three times...then it stopped on the GUI screen after reboot at least a half a dozen times at varying stages...
When I tried this, the computer kept hanging when it was trying to copy the drivers.cab file. I know it is not the install CD, because I tried two different originals. I am really thinking that the RAID controller is causing some problems now. Now I can't even get the computer to boot into...
Thanks....I guess I would have noticed that when I went to reinstall windows (unless I wiped the drive first.) I will try that tonight (I pray that it works because my wife is sick of not having a computer that she can print from. :o
I have unplugged the card reader, uninstalled it, even went so far as to disable the USB in the BIOS (as it just attaches to the USB header on the motherboard). I still am getting the IRQL error for the fasttrack.sys driver. Last night I was able to run in normal windows for at last a half...
