After getting fed up with gateway computer I decided to build my own. I thought if I ever have anyone minor troubles I could always ask people here or at the FiringSquad message board. Things went bad.
I decided to put in my computer a Athlon 1100mhz cpu. I also use 128mb pc133 mushkin memory and the Microstar K7T Pro2 KT133. My hard drive is a IBM 75GXP 45gb.
As to my problems. I loaded windows 98 then windows me. (Seeing how I have the step-up version of ME.) I experienced these strange crashes at times when I did not use the computer. Usually when I just let it sit there with no screen saver. Sometimes it would freeze when I did turn on a screen saver. There freeze was like a system hang where nothing could be done. Also at other times it would give the blue screen of death out of nowhere. It had wierd numbers as the cause.
I decided this was a bad install of windows. I reformatted and did it again. Everything seemed fine. Even when I left it alone. But after 3 days it happened. I came home and the cursor was stuck. I was mad. I rebooted. When I rebooted on the black screen that come before windows logo comes it say unable to load registry. Then some other text. When I got into windows I was barraged with new hardwars found boxes. When I canceled out I was my sound was not working or my ethernet. I tryied reinstalling the drivers. No luck.
I heard this was a problem with my motherboard. Any shred of help with be grately appreciated. I am planning on taking it to a professinal tomarrow. Please anything...anything at all.
