Ok,
I have been away for 2 weeks and my system used to run 24/7.
I switched off while away.
I had a large windows update on my return and all was fine apart from a buggy Explorer fault that has been ongoing for a while but was not a big hassle.
all worked ok then I had a few serious freezes, with the only way out was cutting the power. then I got cpu overclock error.
I tried to use repair consol.
then I tried to reinstall windows and got a bsod with error.. IRQL not less or equal... then later page fault in non page area..
then my win disk would not be recognised when I was mostly complete with a new win instillation on another hd.
It appeared that whatever I tried I was thwarted by a bsod at the last moment.
(I think its the graphics card)
anyway I have now taken the C drive hd and set it to slave in my spare parts machine and it is totally accessable and I will copy all the data I need.
Ok before I procede the specs.
Faulty machine.
asus A7N8X deluxe creative FX 5900 xp 2400 xp home add up to date
os on maxtor 7200 40 gig then 120 gig seagate 7200 and 120 gig seagate sata hd 7200. 2x 512 ddram pc 2700 ithink
I had removed the tv card and all usb devices.
I have now also got a failed xp os on drive D.
I did make a ghost image which is safe on the drive still in the faulty machine.(drive E partition on second hd seagate)
At the moment I am a bit stumped,
Should I copy the important data to a dvd (after installing the writer from the faulty machine) then format the drive C Which appears as D in the spare parts machine. Put it back in the faulty machine and hopefully install the ghost image to it (any tips appreciated).
Having looked at previous posts I am worried that memory could be faulty also.
any Ideas folks much appreciated
