I have an E-Machine T4200 2GHz w/512KB,
Intel 845 chipset, 60 GB HDD, 512 MB SDRAM (PC133) ,AC 97
Audio, nVidia TNT2 m64 AGP with 32MB.
I in short ran a live Linux CD this past memorial day
weekend which ended in catastrophe after rebooting into
the KDE Linux interface which runs solely off the CD and
memory on the host computer I ran intro problems. Linux
don't transfer any files to the host computer but I was
backing up the persistent root directory of the session to
the USB drive from the OS on the CD. When there was some
kind of glitch and the computer kind of went blank and
came back up but nothing worked in the GUI on Linux so I
tried to reboot and I thought the live CD failed so I
popped out the Linux live CD and tried booting to windows
home XP the real operating system but this failed to load
and would boot and then go into safe mode boot then come
up with a blue screen quickly and disappear?? I couldn't
even read the screen much to fast. I went and tried every
safe mode in the line up to no response so I panicked.
Then finally it booted into windows very shortly to reboot
again but I had two independant blue screen messages
***Stop: 0X0000007E (0XC000000, 0X00000000, 0XF894D18C,
0XF894CE8C the first stated the system failed to start due
to a failure of some kind with hardware and windows shut
down to protect the board etc and the blue screen message
states to check the bios and check hardware vendor of bios
for update or then disable shadowing and caching in the
bios so I did this but it failed to work. The second
message only came up a few times stating there was an
error with the video card adapter that I should remove the
latest update and reinstall the video drivers. I finally
got it to boot in safe mode again after 20 or more failed
attempts and I removed and reinstalled the video card plus
all the other hardware showing errors with the question
mark then that video adapter message went away shortly
after it found the hardware. And I still now I just have
the bios problem blue screen still?
I then reloaded my restore CD from E-machines and it
loaded perfectly onto the drive but again after it booted
it finally showed me the blue bios problems screen again
and again.
Finally I left it alone for a few hours and came back and
now it loaded into XP home no errors? What the hell is
going on?? I registered windows for the second time setup
the Lan and it now was up and running so I went to the
windows update site and went to update everything in the
system that had hardware and software updates but after
being on just for 5 to 10 minutes it gives windows had a
error and has to shutdown messages so it reboots again and
It loads but not even 5 minutes and its down again? Now it
is down for good do I need to flash the bios? Do I have a
memory issue since this is what the Linux live CD was
using at the time? It will boot up giving the safe mode
screen then I choose safe mode with and without networking
and it fails to load going to the bios error message?
Do you have any Ideas?
Thank You in advance.
