Hello,

I have just purchased a Gigabyte 8IGX MB with a 2gh
processor and 512MB RAM (PC2100). It was running great.
I bought a new case for it and installed the hardware into
the new case. I now get the above error and an error that
says
"File \ntkrnlmp.exe could not be loaded."
The error code is 7

I have flashed the BIOS, tried different hard drives, run
memory diagnostics. I reset the BIOS to the FAIL-SAFE
defaults and still get these errors. I double checked all
the jumper settings and even cleared the CMOS. I also
have disabled everything in the bios except the primary
IDE and the floppy drive and am still getting the above
errors.

Does anyone have a better explanation of exactly what
those errors mean? I'm using an old version of Windows
2000 SP1(In fact it's not even a bootable CD, I'm using
floppies), is this possibly something that I need a newer
version to fix? I have searched the microsoft knowledge
base and even googled a few of the errors. I checked on
the manufacturer's website and nothing there either.

Thanks for any help in advance.

-Mike

Ok, back to basics for me, it was a bad floppy, man talk
about feeling stupid...

Did you install Win2000 on this motherboard, or did you port
your hard disk from some other motherboard?

I hate it, too, when that happens! :]

Why do we always discover our dumb mistakes AFTER dropping our drawers in
front of the entire world?
