Hoi...
Vorige week had ik een posting m.b.t ptoblemen met een Abit BP6 moederbord. Heb gisteren een nieuwe gekregen (wel goede service van de zaak..al ging het bij de verkoper niet echt van harte...). Heb het systeem met minder problemen als de vorige keer aan de praat gekregen, maar tjsongejonge...dit is geen makkelijk mobo. Met excuses voor de nu volgende Engelse text (ik heb dit probleem ook in de Abit ng gepost), maar als iemand suggesties heeft...hou ik me aanbevolen (IK WIL EEN LEUK WEEKEND !!!!!).
Hi all,
Last week I posted a message concerning problems I had with a newly purchased BP6 motherboard (board didn't recognize my pci cards, wouldn't boot, would not get into bios etc.). Yesterday I got a replacement for that board, but after installing I still have problems (but not as bad as
before). I'm using the standard bios that came with the board..so didn't upgrade to qq2 yet. So what's the problem ?? My cards are being detected ok (SBLive, Tekram
dc390u2W, Diamond Monster Fusion and a 3com ethernet card). However when I power up the computer one in three times it will only boot up (i.e. the leds of num-lock/caps-lock/scroll-lock blink). In the other cases I have to switch off and on the power until the system will boot. When the system
boots the Win98SE on the U2W scsi everything runs fine, however when my win98 on the IDE-disk starts up, i get a message right away saying I have a page fault in Explorer.exe and then my whole system hangs up. (Then the "game" of power on/off begins again for booting up).
So my questions:
1) is this power on failure due to a high peak-current (so my power supply (235W) is not sufficient to power up: 2xceleron 466 with fan (not overclocked), 2 cooler fans (12v), 1 scsi cd-rom, 1 zip, 1 cd-rewriter, 1
scsi2 hd, 1 udma hd ??) ? If so how can i test this (i have a multi-meter at home)?
2) is this power on failure related to a faulty mobo ??
- Has anyone had the same problem ? If so how did you solve it ?
3) How can I solve the Win98 explorer.exe problem without re-installing (darn...will take me two days for doing all the updates and installation of programs....sigh).
Any suggestion is greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Sander Heijs
