I recently put together my system and I've been having issues getting it going. Here's an outline of my system
Soyo K7V Dragon Motherboard
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
256 meg stick of PC2100 DDR Crucial Ram
A Western Digital 7200 RPM 40 Gig Drive
A Thermaltake Volcano 7 fan
A HP8110i 4x/2x/20x CD Burner (from previous system)
ATI Radeon VE 64mb DDR Video Card
A 430W Enermax power supply
I put the whole system together, and the install went fine at first in XP. I couldn't however get the on board sound to work. Whenever I would try to install the driver for the card, it would blue screen and reboot.
So eventually after an hour of trying to get the driver to install, I restarted and installed Windows 2000.
Once again the sound doesn't work. When I try to install the sound card drivers, the computer blue screens and reboots. I found this on Soyo's website
<< We installed Windows 2000 on our desktop with integrated audio board and during the installation we got a blue screen (no typical Microsoft bluescreen) with the following text:
*** Hardware malfunction, Call your hardware vendor for support. *** The system has halted ***
This behaviour occurs when the "Soundblaster Legacy option" is set to enabled. Since Win2000 and WinME do not need to have legacy support, you should heep it to disabled. >>
Well I can't seem to find this option and I've looked thoroughly in the bios. This is for the general soyo faq so I'm wondering if because of the 5.1 sound card that bios option is missing.
I've also been having problems with the computer crashes. At first I can move the mouse still and not click on anything, then the mouse stops moving, and then the screen turns black. Eventually it will restart.
Sometimes though, the system just restarts out of no where.
I did find a post on usenet where someone had a crashing problem and turned off HDD S.M.A.R.T. capability. I checked my bios and this option was off. So I figure I'd try turning it on. Since then it seems to not crash as much. It has crashed once though.
I'm getting to a point where I have no idea where to go next. Has anyone had a similar experience, or any ideas about how I can fix this?
