I set-up my new system last weekend and I've been trying to diagnose why I've been getting lock-ups since....
Oh yeah, did I mention that in one of the lock-ups....I lost my registry and had to re-install Windows?? /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-mad.gif
I've been through so much crap this week, I almost tried Win XP! NOT! /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-tongue.gif
Anyway, here's the four main culprits to my problems:
1. BIOS anti-virus.
2. Intel Application Accelerator.
3. ZipDrive software (They must of figured out the problem, they just released a new version this week that works! /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-mad.gif )
4. Windows really needs a floppy-disk installed on a your system to be happy (This includes WinXP). I decided that I really don't need a floppy-drive anymore, since I have a Zip250 built-in, so I disabled the floppydisk controller....WinME locked-up on install until I re-enabled the controller! Even after I gave the stupid M$ crapware it's beloved controller, it would hang at odd-times, looking for the floppy-drive....so I gave it a floppy-drive and it is happy now....sheesh!
After going through my system with a fine-tooth comb (#*%&*$#!!!!), I think I have a stable O/S once more....I went through the a different version of the same crap with my last system that I built!
I have a feeling that someday, generations will look upon this period of computer use as pre-historic and wonder why we put up with the crap that M$ dishes out to us....lol!
My new system:
P4 2.4GhZ/533 FSB
Asus P4T533-C Motherboard
1024MB Samsung RDRAM
Aopen Siluro GF4 4600
WD-60GB-7200 HD
Toshiba DVD/CDRW
SB Audigy Platinum
Anyway, I'm off to reformat and do a clean install....hope to be back before FB is released! /i/smilies/16x16_smiley-indifferent.gif
