Dear everyone,
Some background on my problem. Running 3.2 ghz intel P4
with HT, 1gig corsair 333mhz ddrram, on Asus motherboard,
2x 70 gig maxtor HDD's in Raid 0, sapphire radeon 9600 XT.
Woke up 2 days ago to blue log-in screen, i log in,
says "windows has just recovered from a serious error,
would u like to send this to microsoft." I clicked send
(for the first time ever), and went about my business.
bout 4 hours later, I was playing Doom 3 on one of the
later levels when my entire computer crashes. It didn't
crash to the desktop, it just started repeating sound
over and over and then tried to reboot. Upon rebooting, I
reached the screen saying "blah blah blah, do you want
to : start windows normally, safe mode, safe mode with
networking, safe mode with dos prompt, last known good
configuration."
Doesn't matter which one I choose, my computer begins
reading the ...windows/system32... files and crashes when
it hits the 'setup' folder (which is almost immediately
after I make my choice and hit the ENTER key.
So I tried booting from a recover CD ROM sent to me by my
manufacturer and after changing the bios to look at the
CD-ROM drive first, it works and takes me to a screen
which says "setup cannot continue. Setup did not detect
any hard discs installed in your computer. Hit F3 to exit
setup."
So i try the Windows XP upgrade disc instead of the
recover CD ROM, and i get to a screen that says "hit R
for recovery" which I do. Then it takes me to a blue
screen which says "please insert the disc
labeled 'automated system recovery disc.' "
What the heck is this and where can I get it?
AND....what the heck is wrong with my computer?! It is
less than 8 months old and came from
www.CyberPowerSystems.com after I configured it myself.
ANY thoughts or help is GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you so much,
John 'golfboy7' Taylor
