not sure where i would post this but if i post in a wrong section sorry. after doing a clean window 7 ultimate x64, window updated right away and asked me to start my computer, so i did. for a very long time the computer kept on spinning "shuting down", then later on, pc restart and pop-up msg said window error BSOD. so i did a cmd sfc /scannow. there was an error that cannot be repaired. please see quote:
i press F8 and there's no "repair computer". This is what i get from f8 safe mode safe mode w/network enable boot logging enable low-resolution video (640x480) last known good config directory service restore mode debugging mode disable automatic restart system failure disable driver signature enforcement start window normally so i select "directory service restore mode" and now i'm in a safe mode window 7. not sure what's next
Boot to the DVD, select repair computer, run the memory diagnostic program. If this is a fresh install and you are having issues you may need to do some in depth diagnostic. I am trying to find the Hiren's boot CD for you
when i ran the Hiren and browser to "BlueScreenView", this is what it said DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE. not sure what i need to do or what it mean. i have 650watt power
I think you are having a hardware issue, any recent changes or additions? Run some memory, processor and drive diagnostics.
I added 2 more 4gb pc-6400 ddr2. I have 4 slot each with 2gb ddr2-800 pc-6400. I just did a window memory diagnostics test and no error found. Memory passed. also did a chkdsk and no error found. what's next?
Pull the memory back out, check it for stability for a while. If it works then try swapping the new memory out with the original. Read the manual for memory installation see if there are any recommendations as for how to fill out the memory slots. Check the manufacturers website for memory compatibility list and updated bios.
what kind of memory is it? does it meet the following: • DDR2 800 MHz DIMMs with SPD timings of only 5-5-5 or 6-6-6 (tCL-tRCD-tRP) Is your Bios Up to date assuming the DG45ID is your board then the latest bios update expands your memory usability from 8GB Max 667 to 16GB max at 800... •BIOS Update [IDG4510H.86A] •This download record provides three options for updating the BIOS of the following Intel® Desktop Board(s): DG45ID, DG45FC. Allows usage for memory upto 16GB @ DDR2 800MHz 7/12/2010 - 0131- Latest BIOS
thanks you all. so you think it;s a memory issue? i never did a sfc /scannow before. this is actually the first time. so i'm not sure if the cause before or after the add-in memory. but i will try do as you recommend. i was thinking of upluging all my drivers and only connect 1 hd, and 2gb. if it pass the sfc /scannow, i added another 2gb and do the scannow agian, and so forth. new memory is OCZ Technology Performance Gold 4GB DDR2-800 (PC-6400) Dual Channel Memory Kit (Two 2GB Memory Modules), Voltage 2.0 Volts, CAS Latency 5, Latency 5-5-5-18, Unbuffered, Non-ECC, 240-pin DIMM, Gold XTC Heat Spreader. Not sure about the other 2 memeory. i check later after work. bios update: will this erase my modded slic2.1? also my board only max 8gb. if it's not hardware issue, could it be window7 issue or bios mod issue? i use flash drive to install my pc.
i can't install any software/driver, pc kept frozen and i had to do a hard reboot. then i reinstall intel driver and it work. i try to install itune, itune status bar just hang there for hour. so i hard boot it. i guess i should update to the latest bios first and it might solve these issues?
