Damn Computer Problem

Full Metal Jacket · **Damn Computer Problem -** 10-15-2002, 10:45 AM

First of All, here are my specs:

P4 1.5ghz
2 x 256 ram
Geforce 4 Ti4200 128meg vid card
40gig 5400rpm hard drive (C

80gig 7200rpm hard drive (D

Windows XP Home Edition

2 weeks ago I added the second 256 ram to make it 512, about a week and a half later, the system started screwing up, in the middle of games or just the net, it would reboot itself, this happened about 10 times, then the last time it gave me a option of starting in NORMAL MODE, SAFE MODE, and OF LAST TIME WINDOWS WORKED FINE, I've tried all of these and NOTHING, starts to load windows then BANG, back to reboot. So I FORMATED C: and reinstalled everything, same thing happened, reboot a few times now, can't get back into windows again. I'm on work computer now and won't be home till November 5th, then BACK to futureshop she goes...lol...i've tried taking out the new ram and running just the old one, and vice versa, but NOTHING....Good thing it's under warrenty oOo:

Has anyone had problems like this before ??

Are the RAMs the same models.

Full Metal Jacket · 10-15-2002, 12:10 PM

No, one's GB and the other is AZEN or something, but I was told that shouldn't matter as long as they are both 256 PC 133 SDRAM oOo:

Star85 · 10-15-2002, 12:11 PM

I dont know about that. Sometimes two dont mix together.

Full Metal Jacket · 10-15-2002, 12:22 PM

Ok, Thanks, I even took one out and it still don't run, no matter what ram i have in it, new, old, don't matter....back to futureshop with it i guess..lol

Star85 · 10-15-2002, 12:23 PM

Thanks, worse thing is, i'm away for 3 weeks, and it's going to eat me up inside thinking of what's wrong with it..LOL...but...it's under warrenty..so...LOL...

Or it could be the "Intel Inside". Or what strikor said.

Star85 · 10-15-2002, 12:51 PM

Motherboard probably. I never thought of that even though thats what was wrong with our old computer.

10-15-2002, 01:51 PM

power supply maybe.

Full Metal Jacket · 10-15-2002, 02:28 PM

Would Power Supply stop windows from loading ??? I can see how it would make it reboot all the time, but can't see how it would refuse windows loading oOo:

Could be the floppy drive... oOo:

In reality, could be any part of the computer. Actually sounds like a corrupt config file or something. So it could be software or hardware related. What'd you do right before it happened???

Blah, PIV on SDRAM... M16: ed:
