Hiya,
Heres a short verion of my computer problems to date. To start with I have Intel D865GlC(512 mb ram) (MSI x800 Radeon). Anyway over the last two years my computer has had problems with randomly instantaneously reseting, doesnt matter what I am doing (word, video, games). I have constantly look for solutions but none so far have worked. I tried formatting, ram and all the likes, except changing the Power Supply, so under a friends suggestion I went and bought a p4-400wat power supply to replace my 300wat one. This is where the trouble comes in. I have a Western Digital 80gb hardrive as my slave (contains the windows partition) and a Seagate 320gb (2 months old max).
So anyway I tried to boot once new power supply was all connected up, the green lights on the motherboard were on showing that power was being supplied, but the computer would not actually turn on (ie fans didnt spin, cdroms didnt spin etc). Well i thought lets remove some components incase the P/S is dodgey and cant handle all the power, so i unplugged both hard drives. Computer boots up fine, recognises both Dvd/Cd drives. Ok so I shutdown and plug in both hardrives and remove DVD/CD drives, doesnt turn on (green lights are on), hmm ok somethien to do with hard drives.
Problem 1) Plug in the WD 80 with windows partition and promply get a blue screen of death after a little loading (0x0000007B), so I try to start in safe mode (and last ood configuration), it gets to the point of loading the d347bus.sys (a Daemon tools driver) and then the BSOD appears, i try again to safe mode and esc to skip the d347 driver, BSOD again. Did some reasearch on the issue people suggested deleting the file with recovery console (did delete it and also the d347prt.sys) and still get BSOD. Ok so now we have problem one out the way.
Problem 2) Ok this problem concerns the Seagate 320gb. Whenever it is connected to a computer (mine or parents) it wont allow the computer to turn on, the lights will be on on motherboard but no fans will spin when power button pressed. When Seagate HD removed the power has to be completely disconnected and reconnected to turn on again, what im thinking is that the hard drive is seeming to be tripping some kind of switch by short circuting or something. Anyway the hard drive cannot be accesed at all as it is.
Steps taken to fix- have tried to research but havent found any info to help either problem, have also placed everything back on the 300w suplpy in case the 400w was dodge. Cant get MemDumps of the WD 80gb one as cant get into windows throug any method.
There is data on both hard drives that I really cant afford to lose so any suggestions would be gratefully received.
Cheers
Thanks Heaps
