Win Xp Pro Problemo

[monkeyhead]

this problem really goes in both the hardware and software catergrey so no one complain!!!:)

But any way i just tried installing windows xp on my other comp and it came up with this error:Not enough free virtual memeroy and kept restarting.
Then i went into the bios to overclock slightly and it had to restart so i did.But then my monitor didnt come on!

I hav checked the obiuvs things eg cables,etc and tested the monitor on a n other computer.

So wat can i do?

Sorry just forget what i said ive read too much today

Are you trying to install this onto an HP, Dell, Compaq?? If so, sometimes their hardware and the drivers that come with it are only designed to work with the OS that they provided. I have an HP and tried installing PRO from the HOME version and my monitor was all messed up too. I didn't even want to begin to think what other drivers would be messed up. I'm sure that you can somehow find the appropriate driver somewhere on the net to make it work... but in my case, sticking with the HOME version was just a simpler and smarter idea.


Edited: for memory loss

reset your CMOS either with the jumper setting or remove the batery and short the contacts on the board for 5 seconds. then try it again.

How do i do the above quote?

[zapjb]

If you have the manual for your MB it'll tell you.

[monkeyhead]

i dont
could u tell me?

[Somebody1234]

what do u mean by shorting?
Quoted from Hardwareworld.

Shorting means connect the two pins together. Closing the circuit.

Do not do as balamm just said.

See page 2-20 in the manual from here: http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manu...10&NAME=MS-6373 (http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/manual/mnu/spt_mnu_detail.php?UID=10&NAME=MS-6373)

Follow those instuctions to 'Clear CMOS'

This isn't gonna help you, cause you don't know where on your MB to find this. Move jumper from set positions 1&2 to 2&3 for 5 sec then back. Or vice versa.

[monkeyhead]

right i download the manul.

So i dont remove the battery,right?
I just change the jumper for 5 secs?
I really need this confirmed

That's right. Just connect for 5 secs or more and the put the jumper back where it was. Turn the power back on and try it.
Please tell us if it works.

[monkeyhead]

movein the jumper from 1-2 to 2-3 4 5 secs
In my manual it says:

U can clear CMOS by shortin 2-3 pin while the system is off
Does this mean off at the mains or off as in power still on after press the on button?

There's a battery on the motherboard.

It looks like a large watch battery.

Pry it out.

Where the battery would connect,

connect those two points together with something metal for FIVE seconds.

Or- Put the battery in backwards for five seconds.

Overclocking is for advanced users. You should know what you are doing before attempting any overclocking of any kind. Even then it's at your own risk. Given what I have seen on this thread so far, I don't think you are an "advanced" user. I hope you learn your lesson and don't attempt overclocking again.

[TRshady]

I tried the exact same thing before and the same thing happend :">
Keyword: Before :)

You can solve this quite simply by changing the jumper settings to reset the bios.
Try and find a manual for your mobo on the net but on mine the jumper is played next to the agp slot and to reset the bios change it from 1&2 connected to 3&4 (or similar, move the jumper from one end of the "pins" to the other".

does this make sense?

[monkeyhead]

hello any body wat can i do?

[Blaster.Master]

LET ME TELL YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO:

1.)Go to the nearest college and take the "Computer Technician" Course (that would take you about 2 or 3 years.
2.)Keep asking.
3.)Take your pc to the nearest Technical Center.
4.)Get a new pc.www.compaq.com (http://www.compaq.com), www.dell.com (http://www.dell.com)
5.)Overclocking is a little to complicated, next time pay attention to "don't try this at home"

^Geesh! :( A simple "Your Screwed" would've done.. but hey, that's just me. :P
