Hi there,
I'm new to the forum so i'm going to be as clear a possible!
The problem started y'day. I got the dreaded BSOD and it said "beginning physical memory dump" so when i saw that i turned off my machine (i regret it now!). The reason i turned it off is because i got the same (i think) BSOD last week and i just turned it off, rebooted and all was well.
This time round it wouldn't turn off when i held down the power button so i turned it off at the wall.
Now, i've been through all of the "standard" procedures to try and resolve my issue to no avail. The various procedures i have gone through are as follows:
1) Cleared CMOS.
2) Followed the procedure for "no display on startup" on my motherboard manufacturer's website.
3) Removing RAM and replacing with new RAM. Well the RAM wasn't new, it was fom my bro's PC which is also compatible.
4) Tried using my old graphics card and a different monitor.
My motherboard light turns on when i connect power so there isn't an obvious mobo fault.
My mobo is an ASUS P4P800E-DELUXE
Processor - P4 3.0GHZ Prescott (HT enabled)
RAM is from Crucial (total - 1.7gb)
GPU - GeForce 7600
Power supply is 470W
I seriously regret turning off my pc! I'm so stupid
I'm hoping that leaving my pc unplugged overnight *might* sort itself out but i doubt it! I just hope i haven't blown my processor or anything like that. That would kill me!
Also i have checked, checked and re-checked all connections and cables but still nothing!
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
The ironic thing is that i was planning to do a full backup this week... sods law!
Thanks in advance.
Kang.
