Hi there,
The pc in this topic is win xp pro 2.4ghz athlon xp 640 sdram geforce 4mx 440 8x agp (running at 4x) jetway 830chmobo
Ive got a major problem with my girlfriends pc she brought a Amd Athlon
xp 2.4ghz to replace her Duron 1.1ghz which was plonked onto a jetway 830ch.
Now the board is old and didn’t recognize the cpu so the bloke in the shop Who fitted it said to update the bios. He told me to d/l the update and then I should put the mobo cd in the drive and let it load however the system was barely usable, low colours random crashes ,anyway I loaded the cd and a magic install screen appeared he told me to click on magic bios and load the update and that should be that.
But the magic bios link wasn’t there and by this point the pc was loading for a bit with 4bit colours and stayed a while (about 4 mins) then it crashed and restarted but kept crashing at the point were it loads all the programs into the taskbar and when it did load it was with 4bit colours and the classic skin for xp . so I read the manual and at the back it told me how to update using a Boot disc. I googled for a while on how to do this and I found out that if I used right click A:> format and tick create msdos startup disk then format it would create one for me but remembering to delete all but 3 files (command.com. io.sys and msdos.sys) I did all this then transferred the updated bios and a file called awdflash.exe to the floppy then restarted, it booted from the floppy and my manual tells me to type
“awdflash A:\830chA10.bin /sn/py/cc/r”
I did this and it loaded up a Flash bios update screen this proceeded to, I presume update the bios . I cant remember what it all looked like as I don’t know wether I should do it again but I remember little white squares appearing left to right on a line then also directly below it doing the same only the last 4 squares were blue
Below this it had a little diagram saying white squares meant-???(cant remember think it meant updated ok) Blue squares meant-(I think)boot bios block and red meant not updated
After the squares all appeared (2 lines) the system restarted but on reboot on the screen with all the info(is this post) it said "cmos check sum error loading defaults" but It now recognized the cpu I had to hit f1 to continue or del to enter bios I hit f1 and the pc continued but crashed like before. It rebooted itself and I entered bios I changed the init display first to agp slot and disabled the on board sound as she has a 5.1 sound card in. i the restarted but it still kept looping and staying on for a bit then looping again
My mate told me to try a fresh install so I diid but the rom was having probs, when transferring system files it kept asking me to retry to read the disc the disc itself is fine so that must be something to do with the pc problem. it started to install then the dreaded blue screen came up and now each time it trys to finish installing it just blue screens and dies. The blue screen says
Stop: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The session manager initialization system proccess terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0xc000026c (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down
I think I missed something in the bios because I think it resets itself when I update it
Or maybe the bios isn’t updated right??? i dont know how to do it i thought it did itself
This is all I have done/was told to do and I have read around for two days now but im stuck and im desperately needing some advice :(
Sorry for going on but I wanna give you all the info I can
Thanx
Mike
