Problems after upgrading

Hi,
I think this is a problem of installation. The installation was not done properly. Please reinstall and check
bye

Check your power management settings in Windows 2000, also check for a bios update for your motherboard. Also if you upgraded from 98 without a clean install problems can occur. Try a fresh clean install of Win 2000. Irq settings and management in Win2000 can cause this problem. Check out also how many items are plugged into the same power source, that is the 120 volt outlet in your home. "zipper"

The power supply may need to be upgraded to a minimum 300W,check how many peripherals you have that requires power,such as hard drives,cd-rom,cd/rw,all will require a certian amunt of power to run and you may not have enough with the 250W power supply
Also check the video card drivers are updated W2K

Imagine for a moment that each program and piece of hardware is an expensive crystal glass. Imagine also that an operating system is a huge, wool and down comforter.

Now, when your system was intially installed your retailer laid the comforter (OS) on the ground and stacked each glass on top of it. What you have just done is ripped the comforter out from under the glasses and thrown it on top of them. As you can picture, this is not something you would want to do.

This is what I would recommend. If you can still get into the system, even briefly, make a backup of all important files (NOT PROGRAMS, unless you do NOT have them on CD somewhere.) Then I would boot to a floppy, preferably a Win2000 boot disk, and do the following:1. Delete all hard disk partitions through FDISK command. (Remember you have to delete a logical partition before deleting an extended DOS partition.)

2. Exit from FDISK and type "FDISK /MBR" (no quotes.) This will reformat your Master Boot Record to whatever operating system your boot disk is.

3. After that is done, you can reboot to the floppy and format the harddrives again.

Basically the above will allow you to build up on the Windows 2000 format. Remember that Windows 98 is FAT 32 and Windows 2000 is NTFS. This may be where your errors are comming in, even though Microsoft says Windows 2000 will support FAT32 harddrives.

Your saying that you Power Supply is only 230Watts, i think its too low, when there is a lot off card and drive at your system. Try to make it 250 or 300 Watts..May be this is your problem, if you follow the instuction in installing the OS correctly.

Hope this can
