<FONT face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size=2>I have had this happen 2 in the last week and can't fiqure it out please help!!
The first time I did the regular stuff install nvidia drivers from disk install xp and video drivers ...by the way heres my stats
XP barton 2500 (not overclocked or unlocked yet)
512 DDR Corsair (2 x 256) Cas 2
Radeon 9800 pro (not overclocked)
Antec truepower 430watts
80 gig SE WD 8 mb cache
After about 2 days of running fine the next time I fired her up she wouldn't load into windows and would re-boot the pc and do this in a eternal loop.
So after i read in here about probs with the serial ata drivers and bios issues I decided to just re-install XP (home) and flash the bios and only load fresh latest drivers for the mobo and video card etc,.
Now it ran fine for about 2 more days and then started re-booting itself again (just like before) in a eternal loop again!!!!!!!!!!
What the F**k!!
Please help with any suggestion??
<FONT face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size=2>By the way I have already re-seated mem (which is in slot 2 and 3) swapped out the serial adapter thingy with new one changed voltages to CPU up .025 to see if she wasn't getting enough juice, and played with swaping out the battery to see if it was bad ......but still to no avail!!!</FONT></FONT>
