Hello,
I'm trying to use some of my (somewhat) older hardware to build a computer for someone else. Initially the problem was memory related, because I was getting beeped at by the motherboard... I got it to start up, and it was giving me the following error message:
"Warning! Now system is in safe mode. Please re-setting CPU or Memory frequency in the CMOS setup."
I reset the jumper for this, and restored default settings in the BIOS... and this still didn't fix it... So I replaced the battery. That fixed that issue, but..
Now the computer just turns off after Windows loads files for installation... (same spot everytime). I'm guessing this has something to do with the Motherboard or Memory... I don't have any other memory or a motherboard to test that theory though.
---Here are the system specs---
Motherboard: ASUS P5ND2 SLI
Processor: Intel Pentium D 840 3.2gGHz
Memory: Corsair XMS2 DDR2 675 (1 GB 2x512)
Video Card: GeForce 7600 GT
Sound Card: Soundblaster Audigy SE
Hard Drives: WD SATA 500 & WD SATA 160 (want the OS on this one), but both are brand new.
Power Supply: CoolMax 500W
----------------------------
Side note: on MY system I had issues installing Windows 7 because of my CD drive, so I bought a new one and that worked... Might be an issue here.. but the only other CD drive I have to test that, is the one that wasn't working for mine... SO... that doesn't help.
I've pretty much hit a wall... and my frustration just tells me to buy a brand new mobo, processor and memory to fix it... LOL. Any Help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
