My system worked fine, a few gliches here and there but overall it had
been ok...for two weeks. At that time, my primary HDD, a maxtor 40g,
stopped working. Put it in another computer, it couldn't see it, so I
assumed it had just failed, and got another. Fast forward to today;
brought my system home for the summer, plugged it in and turned it on.
It looked ok for a second, then powered down with a blinking power
LED. WTF. Rebooted, came up ok except it didn't see the new hard
drive. Fiddled around with it, rebooted a few times, and it came up
ok. Got into windows (XP Pro, started doing some stuff, and then I got
a blue screen with something about KERNEL on it. WFT mark II.
Rebooted. Then I got a "disc read error" when it finished the
bios\promise bootup stuff. Rebooted, the same thing. Mucked about,
still no fix. Unplugged it, went to bed. Plugged it in this morning,
now I get that turn on, power up for 1 second, then power down with
the blinking power LED all the time.
Any help would be most appreciated. System spec's below:
Asus A7A133 (I'm pretty sure it's that one and not the A7V133 but I'll
post if I find out otherwise)
1 x 256 PC133
2 x WD 30g
1 x Dell scavanged 40g (the one with the disc read error...worked fine
before)
1 x SB Live! Value
1 x GeForce 4 mx (maddog variant)
1 x ATI TV PCI card
1 x Promise Ultra 100
1 x Linksys NIC
listed them all in case there's some off-the-wall conflict someone
knows aboot...
THANK YOU!!!!
