Well, for the past 7 days I've had a PC thats just busted. Heres the current situation and hardware...
Abit KT-7 RAID (Award BIOS 6.00)
Duron 1.1
384 meg RAM (1 128, 1 256)
ATI Radeon 7500
IBM 30 gig on IDE controller 1
Toshiba DVD on IDE controller 2
I can boot to DOS from a disk, and format / fdisk with no problems. With both RAM sticks in, I can install Win98
fine, then after the first reboot it goes to endless loops. Any Win2k install will begin from both the disk's or the CD, but just towards the end it crashes with the following error...
Stop 0x0000007F (0X0000000D, X00000000, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
Unexpected_Kernal_Mode_Trap
If I remove the 256 meg of RAM and go with only the 128 (Which is Infineon vs generic on the 256) Win98 is the same whereas Win2K (Any one of the 3) gets this error....
Stop 0x0000000A (0xD0BBAAA8, 0x000000FF, 0x00000000, 0x803AA78C)
IRQ_Not_Less_Or_Equal
Now, before getting to this point, I had a crackedc ore on my previous CPU which was causing fits (This resolved about 3 days ago) During that time I re-powered the mobo. I think it detected the CPU wrong, then when I inserted the new CPU it had some problems until i manually set the clock speed. Then it would boot fine, but some setting in the BIOS was causing the BIOS to control access to the MBR on the drive, requiring validation for write access. I think this is what initially caused my OS failures during install. After I loaded optimized defualts from the BIOS, I could install Win98, but and 2K continues to error out.
My theory is that I have both bad RAM (Although I had a local shop test the RAM a few days ago and it tested good....) and that I also have some setting incorrect in my BIOS which is causing OS load failure. Based on the fact Win98 will load all drivers (checked with step by step confirm) and that 2K gives that error message I think it a BIOS setting.
But I really dont know.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Any advice? Thanks!
