Default Help me before I seriously kill my computer...

Specs:

E2140
P31-DS3L
hec Orion 585W
HD3850
Rosewill Case
80GB Seagate Barracuda SATAII
Samsung DVD Burner

PROBLEM 1:

Install windows. Everything fine. Download ATI CCC and other crap... MOM.SYS load failure due to no Netframework 2.0 or something, so I decide o reformat since it won't go away...

PROBLEM 2:

I select QUICK FORMAT and format. 20%, ERROR. YOUR HDD COULD NOT BE PARTITIONED BECAUSE OF ERRORS. Ok... let's do that again... 2 tries later, I go with the slower partition... it passes! yay! Then... 6% copying file... ERROR!!! kodak_dc.idn COULD NOT BE COPIED! So, I wipe the CD, change to a 24x CD Drive I found at the recycling center...

PROBLEM 3:

BSOD! 0x00000050! OMG! MY GFX? My absolutely brand new GFX has a conflict with my OS?!

Soo... what I need yall genuises to look at...

HDD
DVD Drive
GFX...

I'll seriously kick this outta my door... First time builds failed on me.

I'd throw a Linux live CD in and run memtest86+ for a day, just to rule out a RAM issue.

Yeah, run memtest, and what "we" will do is check one component at a time, checking off the possible/components problems one by one.

Anyways, it sounds like a hard drive issue to me...but I could be wrong.

Well I bought it from Ebay. It's a brand her Seagate Barracuda 80GB SATAII... So I suppose it's still under warranty

Trash vista and load XP

Netframework is what windows uses to verifiy software and allows it to communicate with the OS. If you do not have it, it will cause all kinds of problems. Usually if you are using xp sp1 or lower it does not load with the os, you have to allow windows to do some serious updates to get it to install.

If you tried loading all of your software before doing windows updates, that might be your problem.

So reformat (not quick format, you should never use that) and reload windows. Do not load any hardware you do not absolutley need and then run windows update. Make sure netframework is installed, then load all of your other drivers and software.

Some drivers will not load at all without netframework. Netframe work is up to version 3.0 now. If you find you have an older version, upgrade it.

It won't matter if he uses XP or Vista if he has a hardware failure, which seems pretty obvious to me.


Oscar, try swapping your memory cards around and try running memtest again. Maybe this time it'll load and give you a better failure.

This happens a lot with new cards, and I've noticed ATi can be quite bad at the driver issues. On my rig when I had the X1950 unless the drivers were up to date the system would crash quite happily with a BSOD.

if you remember me and my friends old thread from 2+ weeks ago, we had the same problem as you. Trust me, its the ram. For sure. No doubt. Take a stick out and see what happens.
