Geez i dont evem know where the right place to post this would be.
Before the windows splash screen (xp pro sp3) I get the stop code MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. ram seems fine, tested each stick in different slots. Ran ubuntu fine. Memtest86 reports no errors. unplugged dvd drive, still get the stop error
(just ran windows in debugging mode. the code is STOP: 0x0000009c (0x00000004, 0x80546E70, 0xB2000000, 0x00070F0F))
I wonder if, given all that, the SATA controller on my mobo somehow bit the dust? Every time i boot my pc after a power off, I have to reboot it once because the mobo says ERROR LOADING DISK, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. It doesnt recognize my drive on the first boot ever. also the mobo never detects the other sata drive i have installed, but windows does. a few days ago i rebooted and mobo threw "Error loading Operating System". turned it off for a few hours and it was fine.
Next step would be to reinstall windows, i suppose, see how that reacts.
Basic specs: Mobo - Asus A8N-E
AMD Athlon 64 3500+
2x 1TB SATA drives (non RAID)
1x IDE DVD burner
nVidia Geforce 8800GT vid card
500w PSU
ps - my mobo no longer recognizes my microsoft wireless keyboard (usb) as a device to control input in BIOS. windows, again, recognizes it fine, but as far as my mobo is concerned it doesnt exist.
Suppose i should disconnect my front panel usb too. they broke. physically. idk how they even did that...
