Ight Peeps... Im facing difficulties with my system... its not really an issue regarding Mikes Cops and Robbers BUT it is affecting me as i am unable to play
Basically all was good on my 15 year old system.. it was running win 7 32 bit faultless!... i was playing as normal when my system updated something and asked for a restart.
well thats when it started... I Had BSOD and was unable to boot... unable to install any OS... nothing it was totally dead!!
This was around 3 weeks ago now... many hours i spent messing around with all different diagnostic tools.. nothing was working... MEMTEST had no errors. HDD got a dose of DBAN and was succesfully formatted.. Gparted made a new partition and partition table... i thought i had found life in the old system again... i was wrong
BSOD errors were pointing to HDD and HDD controllers.. Ok then i put my HDD onto my Laptop eSata... had full access to my drive was able to read and write.. so no problems there... vice versa laptop HDD into Desktop (with a working OS)... got to the win 7 loading screen and as soon as the logo starts to turn system resets and keeps looping...
At this point im very miffed off.. i leave it for a few days... decide to try again... now im going back to win xp what my system came with 15 years ago... all is fine all drivers load and setup says starting... then BSOD again.. What gives!!!
So i am sat here scratching my head watching the same boot loop over and over... and i noticed in the DMI pool data there is some issues going on... somehow my hardware is sharing IRQ numbers!!
Looked all over bios settings... updated my bios... removed hardware one by one untill i was bare minimum (Ram/CPU/HDD/Keyboard/On-board VGA).. Disabled lots off stuff that was using IRQ... and BOOM! it let me install win XP and boot up just fine...
but now i cant connect my Video card or Sound card because its sharing IRQ with my HDD controllers and SM BUS IRQ and doing weird things..
How on this planet can i fix this? without a video card is okay for now... but games wont even load without a sound card
Sorry for the long story, and bad communication but i tried LOL.
Gigabyte GA-61MVE-S2 mobo
Kingston Value Ram DDR2 800 2 x 4GB
Asus/AMD Radeon HD6670 2gb Graphics card
Creative Sound Blaster Sound Card
Everything worked just fine for the last 15 years without fault untill my system updated something and wanted a restart.
All i want is Win 7 back an to be able to play MCNR.
Thanks in Advance
