Help, someone.. please.. *down on knees*

[Guest]

Here's another one of those "boot problems" for you! Any help would be much appreciated! Or.. the words "head", "gas oven" and "stick in" come to mind..

I've just changed my system to a P4 'northwood' 1.6, Abit BD7 Mboard, Enermax 350w power supply, and another 512meg of DDR for the new Mboard.

All was going well until I tried to boot up.. and my problem is this-

- On post it completes, until halting at error code 52 (on that little counter thing), but the bios on-screen says 'Memory test ok'. Then nothing happens. It doesn't boot further, and when I press Del to get into setup it doesn't work either!

I don't get any funny beep-codes, just the normal one beep, but the HD light is on all the time. (And before you ask.. my wires are in the right places)

Eeek, if someone doesn't help, could you at least point me in the way of the most painless suicide technique? Damn these computer things..

Look in the manual for what 52 is, I can't remember offhand.

Eeek, sorry.. forgot to mention that one! The error is "Test All Memory (Clear all extended memory to 0)".. so.. bleh, any ideas?

Thanks again

ok here is how u fix it:
1: look at the comp in complete confusion
2: hit it - hard
3: hit it again
4: see if it works yet if not
5: scream and throw it out of the window!
:tongue:

how do you set a laser printer to stun?

Hrm... Have you tried resetting the cmos?

Back off your memory timing.

What's the frequency, Kenneth?
