amc11890 Posted October 27, 2009 CID Share Posted October 27, 2009 Its getting really bad, I was starting at the motherboard screen for 10 min then it finally moves past that point by the grace of God. In the past I had trouble with the motherboard malfunctioning and not allowing my computer to start up at all. Thought I was past that point. Even in windows It took extrememly long to load all the programs and such. I built this thing not to long ago too sux that it is failing so bad. I used to have major overheating problems as well where the computer would have to shut down before exploding, lol. But its gotta be the motherboard right I mean my memory is fine I switched with other sticks, the processor I think would not be the problem, hard drive no, gotta be the motherboars slowly dieing.

tdawnaz Posted October 28, 2009 CID Share Posted October 28, 2009 don't any of u guru's have an answer or suggestion??...i think this must have slipped past everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlucardHS Posted October 28, 2009 CID Share Posted October 28, 2009 no it didn't slip past me. What kind of MoBo do you have? and have you tried clearing the CMOS? When did you get it and can you RMA the board to get another one ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted October 28, 2009 Author CID Share Posted October 28, 2009 I got a gigabyte ga-m61p-s3 Actually when I do have problems and the computer refuses to start up period I just clear the cmos and then it does manage to startup. I bought it almost two years ago so defintely had it to long to return buts its weird sometimes it starts up fast then it goes through periods where it takes a century to startup.

mudmanc4 Posted October 28, 2009 CID Share Posted October 28, 2009 I got a gigabyte ga-m61p-s3 .............. sometimes it starts up fast then it goes through periods where it takes a century to startup. Iv'e had this issue, seems that when there's an external drive connected, at times , this happens, so I have to ask, any external drives connected during startup ? Do this, start in safe mode, watch to see where it stops, what's loading at the time it slows down, is it "mups.sys " ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostmaster Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 try running memtestx86.... http://www.memtest.org It might not be the RAM, but this will tell you if the processor has memory issues on the chip.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amc11890 Posted October 29, 2009 Author CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 okay here is a update: last night was a disaster, I just got finished downloading windows 7 and restarted my computer to begin the installation and it just froze at the motherboard for screen and then would shutdown after overheating(i suspect) never getting past the motherboard screen. I fiddled around disconnecting several things and ended up with a "insert system disc" error. I had thought my hardrive was going out so I went into bios and the hardrive was shown but it was indicated as slave and my dvd drive was the master drive.I went into the boot order and the hardrive was set as the first drive to boot from and I entered in hardrive as fist just to make sure this fixed the disc error problem. but next comes another problem I attempted to start the computer and it just made a long beep sound which indicated a dram error. I have two sticks in so i took one out and then the computer started up, and here I am. guess it may have been bad dram all along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coknuck Posted October 29, 2009 CID Share Posted October 29, 2009 Yep you need Boot Manager. There is a lot about on Google! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted October 30, 2009 CID Share Posted October 30, 2009 Are you running more then one OS on the same disk ? if not, then windows should have taken care of that at the during of the install. The drive wipe may not have gotten rid of everything, did you use boot and nuke , and write "0's" to the drive before a new installation ? If thats possible with B&N.....
