    Xp Random file corruptions on new PC

    Well, I've just about pulled all my hair out now. I've tried the 2.03 drivers and the 3.44 drivers and I'm still getting file corruptions. I tried something different and installed the Radeon display drivers 1st thing after windows (before the nvidia drivers) and when it rebooted after install...

    Xp Random file corruptions on new PC

    Yes, I've done the IDE cable an memtest checks. How do you tell a round from flat cable? I would say it's flat, not knowing what round is like. I'm really starting to suspect the motherboard. I've seen a few messages today about people experiencing strange problems with nforce drivers 2.41...

    Anyone got a Gigabyte 7N400-L1 working?

    I've posted on the tech support forum about a randowm file corruption problem I've been having, and the only part left I haven't tested is the motherboard. Just wondering if anyone has experienced any problems with the 7N400-L1. It's brand new here in Australia - maybe I should have gone for...

    Xp Random file corruptions on new PC

    OK, swapped with an IDE cable from my currently running PC, still had a corruption. Moved the Maxtor drive to this PC as well as a slave, and ran Maxtor's Powermax test software, and it certifies the drive as OK. So IDE, HDD and Memory tested, and all report as being OK. This only seems to...

    Xp Random file corruptions on new PC

    Oops, sorry about the blank - can't find an edit button either. What I meant to say was, I ran memtest86 ten passes with no fail, so i guess it seems the RAM is OK. Just installed XP from a different disk in case the first was screwy, so I'll give it a bit of a thrash. If problems come up...

    Xp Random file corruptions on new PC

    IDE cable hey? Hmm, hope I got a spare somewhere. I did run memtest86, didn't know how long for though - it only got to 4 passed tests when I stopped it. After running memtest86 was the first time the system actually wouldn't boot. The BIOS detected the drive, but the screen just went blank...

    Xp Random file corruptions on new PC

    No overclocking, using all the standard BIOS settings and speeds. Funny you mention HDD. Was just talking to a collegue who said he'd had the same drive replaced 3 times as it as faulty. But I've low level reformatted twice, and scnaidsk/checkdisked probably a dozen times, and never had any...

    Xp Random file corruptions on new PC

    Hi All, I've just built a new PC, and am having random system file corruptions at random times. I've reformatted and re-installed XP Pro several (about 4) times, and the problem is still happening. I have used this Cd to install on another PC previously and experienced no trouble. Sometimes as...
