Video Card Conflict? Can I get a referral?

Those are application errors (ya...norton likes to let stuff behind...that´s one of the reasons i dont like it),see the system errors....
BSOD are the blue screens of death

No BSOD's (just once, actually, after updating to Nvidia current drivers).

Are we any closer?

See the system errors in the event viewer.
Have you seen the hd with spinrite?

looks like the last thing my computer did last night was this:

The Background Intelligent Transfer Service service was successfully sent a start control. (not listed as an error).

at 10:34. then there's nothing until I restarted this morning.

I want to use the spinrite, but I can't make a bootable cd w/o a floppy drive for some reason with Nero. I have the .iso ready, but I cannot make it! Ideas about that?

I just ran a scandisk on startup and things are fine with my HDD according to windows. I think I'll just get another mobo and see if that is it. to replace mine it will only cost $40 i think!

Thanks everyone!

Replacing your mobo requires to replace all your drivers(unless you get the same model). And for that you need to reinstall all your os.


What are you getting when you try to do that?

I can burn a cd with the .iso, but it is not a bootable cd. My software requires files from a WinXP boot disk to make a bootable cd. So I get nothing, as if I do not have a boot cd in.

I assume I'll have to reinstall everything. I am getting VERY good at that. 4 times in 6 months!

You just needed to press the create boot diskette from the spinrite menu.

Its "Microsoft corporation.img" file that can be extracted by programs like ISOBuster. You don't have to put that in the compilation. Choose the create bootdisk option and show the boot image path there which should be the path for the img file residing anywhere. It doesn't need to reside in the cd during copying to compilation.

OK - I never got a chance to do that. I was playing a game and my computer kept making these little kind of beeps, almost like chirps, the game froze, and that's all she wrote. On boot, it goes through its usual check, asks me to select an OS, and then just freezes. It won't boot from the CD. Does this sound mobo or drive to you guys?

Thanks - I'm going crazy over here! I'm worried that I can't even reinstall this time if it won't boot from the CD!

To boot from the cd you need to set your bios boot device priority. Tap F8 key during booting(before anything comes up on the screen). Go to the option similar like boot device priority(from Advanced or Boot menu- I cant tell you in detail as I don't about know AMD BIOS setup) and give the cd r/rw at the first place. Now save config and exit from bios. Insert the cd and reboot. I don't think any of your harddisk and mobo is affected.

it is definitely set to boot from the CD. It just won't...
