well just bought a
ECS P4VXAD+
P4 2.4Ghz B
512DDR PC 3200 Samsung
32MB ATI 7000
40gb Maxtor
its for a friend and i got a really good deal everything for 300$ CDN
so i install everything etc...
and when i try to install windows it gives weird missing file errors or BSOD its the kind of errors u would get when u either:
1. overclocked ur cpu too much
2. voltage is too high or too low
3. overclocked memory too much
4. voltage for memory is high or too low
well i have had all of these symptoms on my computer and i just clocked back to original speed and installed windows fine after...
but i didnt overclock this computer AT ALL the mobo doesnt support overclocking....
so first i thought it was the hdd....so i took out the hdd and put it in a p3 and worked perfectly...
next thought the memory slot was messed up....changed slot and still giving problems..
next i thought it was bad ram...so i took tried in my computer ran perfectly at 200mhz so its not the ram...
so then i checked the mobo website and saw an update for the bios saying it fixes some stability issues....
so i updated to the latest one still no luck...
now here i am stuck...i am fresh out of ideas and in need of ur help...
btw i also tried switching cd-rom drives still didnt work...
each bsod is diff some are bad_pool_caller some are IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQAL some are diff...and i cant install windows because it either goes bsod or it gives me copying errors....and the files are always different as i said they are overclocking symtoms but i have not overclocked at all....
HELP need to get this pc up and running...
