My friend just built a new computer:
------------------------------------------------
AMD 64 FX-53
2gb PC3200 RAM
150gb 7200 HDD
ATI X1900 XT [Sapphire]
650w Power Supply
Pretty nice case (Cooling wise)
CD/DVD Drive
All the proper cooling / fans of course
------------------------------------------------
When we turn it on, it asks if we want to start Windows in
- Safe Mode
- Safe Mode w/ Networking
- Safe Mode w/ Command Prompt
- Last known good blah
-Normal Mode
When you choose any of these options, it acts like it is going to start (sometimes even QUICKLY split second flashes the Windows Logo loading thing), and then restarts and starts again.
This is the second power supply we have tried in it, although I think the computer needed a bigger one in the first place anyway. We also tried Fail-Safe Defaults, Optimized Defaults, and even tried using ONE stick of the TWO 1gb RAMS, in multiple different slots.
Now we are convinced it is something over my head, that maybe someone of you would know about (RAM Timings, Clock speeds, and other Advanced Bios stuff I just havent gotten to yet.)
If ANYONE knows ANYTHING or even any little suggestions that you MIGHT think would have any positive effect, PLEASE dont hesitate to say. At this point, we are willing to try anything to get this to work.
Thank you SO much,
-Suru
(PS - If anyone is feeling up to maybe getting on some type of messenger program with us and helping us out there, it would be GREATLY appreciated. More than you can ever know. Thanks again)
