I got my new PC this weekend and already screwed it up. (Back using the old dog now)
The system consists of;
900 Mhz T.Bird
Asus A7V
IBM 45 G Deskstar
256 MB SDRAM
SB Live, value
ATI AIW-Radeon
SyncMaster 900IFT
Win 98SE
The system booted up OK, but I noticed during boot up the text "Ultra 100 bios not installed because no drivers"
Since my HD is Ultra DMA/100 I figured I wasn't getting the full potential out of the system.
So I went to see if I get enable the Ultra DMA. Going through Control Panel > System > Device Manager>HardDisk Controller>Properties I notice an "enable Ultra DMA" check box which was empty. I checked it and then got some kind of warning came up saying that this may cause problems. I proceeded anyway. The system continued to work for a little while but then crashed with the error message "cannot find or load required file KRNL386.EXE. Access to the file was denied. An internal stack overflow has caused this session to be halted. Change the stacks setting in your config.sys file and try again."
I could only restart the system in safe mode and the system continued to crash. Now it won't even power up at all. I'll take it back to the store (Canada Computer & Electronics) but if someone could give me some insight into the problem perhaps I can make sure that it gets set up properly.
During the few hours I had with it before the screw-up I has two occassions where it crashed while surfing the net. In that instance I got the message " An exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C17E30AA in VxD AFVxD (01) + 0000164A. This was called from 0028:C001C304 in VxD NDIS(01)+00004860. It may be possible to continue normally.
Press any key ......."
It wasn't possible to continue. Ctrl/Alt/Del didn't work and I had to power off to restart.
THANKS.
