Windows halts at load screen - Athlon64 3000+ & Asus K8V Deluxe
Hello all.
I purchased an Athlon64 3000+ and an asus k8v deluxe, but when I installed them and tried to boot into windows xp it will halt at the Windows XP logo/loading bar. The loading bar will continue to move, the HDD light on my case will continue to flash. I am able to get into Safe Mode. I am however unable to get into Safe Mode with networking. I've tried disabling the onboard network, audio, promise controller, and sata but I'm still having the problem. I have reinstalled XP a total of 6 times and even tried the new Windows Server 2003 eval version available from Microsofts website. I've removed all expansion cards except for my graphics card (Agp - there are no PCI cards on the mobo) I am running the newest version of the BIOS for the mobo (1004) Any advice on what to do to help me get my computer running would be great. I have also double checked all connections and parts on the motherboard, I can't find anything wrong with it. I'm just wondering if I have a defective mobo and need to RMA it...or if there is a fix for this. Thanks Computer: AMD Athlon64 3000+ Asus K8V Deluxe 768meg RAM (PC2100 - Crucial) GeforceFX 5600 256m RAM 120g WD 8m HD Linksys Wireless-G network adapter SB Audigy 2 Platinum with Live Drive Like I said all of the PCI cards have been removed. |

Now spin up the hard drive to load windows, and it's possible there just isn't enough juice to go around. Even if you have a 400W or better power supply, the total output doesn't matter as much as how much power can be applied to any specific voltage line. Try upgrading the power supply first (check the AMD web site for suggestions). -Dave |

Well. I've already got crucial ram. Also, I can't remember if I
posted that I can get into safe mode. However, I can NOT get into Safe Mode with Networking. I'll probably run over to compusa or bestbuy and pick up a 550w power supply later today to see if that will help, if not..I'll return it. The only real thing I can think of is a defective mobo but it seems to work correctly....except for not letting me in windows xp. Thanks for the replys. If anyone else has any ideas I'd like to hear them... |

An ability to boot in safe mode but an inability to boot windows normally is
almost always an indication of a driver problem. You mentioned re-installing windows multiple times. I assume this means this was a clean format and install of the OS to the hard disk? Or did you try to upgrade an existing windows installation with a new motherboard and processor? This is almost always a recipe for disaster. I'm curious to find out what problem you are having as I will soon be doing a new build with the same processor and mobo combo. Boff "MiMMiC" wrote in message om... Hello all.

when I first got it installed I tried using my existing windows xp
install. That didn't work. So I did a quick format and clean install. That didn't work. So I tried a FULL format and clean install. Still unable to get into windows. Also, I just bought another power supply. That hasn't helped either. I believe I got a defective mobo. I'm going to contact asus tomorrow to see what they have to say (stupid no tech support on weekends). If they can help me..then I'll post how I got it working here. I'm doing another install of Windows Server 2003 to see if I can possibly fix it with that since I have the new power supply. Thanks for the help..if anyone has any other comments please post. |

Also, the 3rd time I installed xp I went ahead and tried to install
all the drivers on the mobo cd. I was able to install all of the drivers for the mobo. The only unknown device in the Device Manager was my graphics card, which I didn't bother to put my nvidia drivers on my USB HD. I might try that in a few. So...with all drivers except the video drivers installed...XP would not boot. |
