I've got a motherboard that i'm running into some problems with (2nd freaking one in a week). The only things installed on the board are the chip, 1 stick of ram, and a videocard.

I start the install process for Windows XP. and it goes through the motions. Upon getting to the 36min part of the "installing devices" it bluescreens out and gives me this message.

Well the first time i figured it was a mem problem? So i did alot of reading over at AMDMB.com and realized it doesnt like some stick configs..and slots. So i have (4) 256mb PC2100 Crucial. 2 of them were purchased this week...and the other two have been running in a machine since 3 months ago. I tried various configurations....nothing works. 1 stick, 2 sticks, different slots...same thing. So obviously thats not a problem.

Well i thought it might be the video card, so i changed the Radeon 8500 AGP card out for a Matrox G200 PCI 8mb card....same deal! So obviously it's not the AGP or PCI slot or the cards themselves (which i already knew).

So now i'm freakin stumped. I've played with the AGP and Ram timings in the computer. It's running completely stock...no overclock.


A FEW times, When the OS doesnt bluescreen, it gets a little further in the install and then starts spewing erros all over the place-

"Windows Could Not Load the Installer for the Display. Contact Your Hardware Vendor for Assistance"

so you press OK and it then says

"Windows Could Not Load the Installer for the Net. Contact Your Hardware Vendor for Assistance"
"Windows Could Not Load the Installer for the CDROM. Contact Your Hardware Vendor for Assistance"
"Windows Could Not Load the Installer for the Battery. Contact Your Hardware Vendor for Assistance"
"Windows Could Not Load the Installer for the (cant remember). Contact Your Hardware Vendor for Assistance"

Then it either bluescreens with that same error, or reboots all together.

It's also not the chip...cause the chip was pulled from a running perfect computer.

That is ALL their is.

Also i tried installing the RAID drivers using F6 (even if im not using RAID) and it still bluescreens..

ANYONE? Or do i need to send this motherboard back also. =(
 
eh whatever came with my chieftec. Not sure the name 🙂 It's 300watt AMD approved. I've got the same PS running my epox w/ 1800+, 2 SCSI HD's, cdrw, DVD, 512mb ram, scsi card, sb live, nic card, radeon 8500, floppy. I doubt thats it also. I'm running the very minimal on this other one. Plus it;s been used before with similar setups
 
Bios says 6N at the end of it. Its kind of a long string of numbers...but matching it to what other people have said, i think its 6N or just 6
 
I had a similar problem with win 2000, same screen came up, I did a reformat and fdisk and the problem disapered, you need to load the HT Point drivers though.
I'm running the 6N_2.3 bios and Htpoint drivers. You can get them Here
 
Ok still having problems. I downloaded the 2.3 drivers for the HT controller. It bluescreend with the exact same error.

Quick question...out of curiosity.

Ok so you load the drivers using F6...then you format the HD and go to install the OS. Where are the drivers for the HT controller saved at during the time it's formatting and installing the OS to notice it? In the memory or something?

Still no go. Anyone else got an idea?

 
well you wont freaking believe this. the problem the whole time was the fact that the IDE HD was on channel 2 instead of one? I've never seen a motherboard that it mattered? The drive was set to master but i guess the fact that it was sitting on channel 2 just screwed the install up for some reason. freaking wacky if you ask me.

lesson learned i guess.
