I am having a problem with a computer that I have built myself. It only started recently, specifically after I had installed some new ram (gskill 2x2gb kit,ddr2 1066 pc2 8500 cl5-5-5-15 2.0-2.1v) At first it was working fine, but then I restarted the computer and got the error bootmgr is missing, so I used my OS disk to do a startup repair which normally works for this situation if it arises, but it didn’t this time. I tried it multiple times and it still would not let me into the computer. The only way I could get it was if I left the OS disk in the computer and let it load from there after doing a start up repair. If I take the disk out all it shows is an underscore “_”. The next thing I tried was formatting and reinstalling windows, which didn’t work. Then I opened up the computer and took out the ram I had put in and tried it with just what I had before that. (Crucial 1 gb x2 dd2 667 pc2 5300)I have even taken everything except what it needs to run out and tried that, and no luck. I have set it from cable select to master and that didn’t help either. I am at a loss.
Computer specs:
Asus m2n sli mobo
2 geforce 9600gt’s
creative xfi soundblaster extreme gamer
amd athlon 64×2 dual core 5000+
6 gb of ram (2x2gb, 2x1gb) all ddr 1066, with same timmings. different brands though, patriot and gskill.
windows vista x64
2 500gb hd and 1 320
Any help will be much appreciated.
