Try loading the default settings from the bios, otherwise you might have to install the OS again.


Your not OC the CPU are you???

I've seen something like this happen to me with 2 different PC's I've built before. Both times, with Windows 2000 & it was a bad hard drive.

That is my guess here. :urpleyes

yeah it sounds like you have a bad drive to me, try swapping out the HD with another one and see how that goes

try a different memory module;)

my pc is not the same of course
turns out i had a virus that deleted my hal.dll and other dlls from my root/system32 folder in windows

When I have such major problems in the OS, first thing I do before testing the hardware is a simple format :)
