DrRiffic 0 Posted March 15, 2001 ok here's my problem, I'm trying to put in some standard pci cards, such as a linksys ethernet card, usb addin card, etc, and they work perfectly ok in Windows ME. however if I try to dual boot into Windows 2000, it freezes at the point ntdetect.com is being loaded. so I try loading the debug ntdetect.chk from the resource kit, and find out the point it's freezing, and it's freezing at "Detecting APM BUS...." now if I try booting win2k with just the graphics card, it works fine. but that's not acceptable when I need the USB or ethernet to access the internet. does anyone have a potential solution? i'm thinking it might be the power supply not giving it enough juice, so I'm going to try sticking an Enermax in there and see what happens. I'm running a few hard drives anyways, it's probably power hungry. Oh I guess I should describe what exactly type of hardware I'm running, so for the record: KT7A-RAID athlon tb 900mhz not oc'd 256 pc133 ram running CAS3 two maxtor HDD's running raid, IDE 3-4 alpha 6035 heatsink soundblaster live 5.1 problem pci cards - linksys 100 mb ethernet card, lucent chipset USB pci card Share this post Link to post
Vampyr 0 Posted March 15, 2001 Make sure there isn't a PCI card in the PCI slot adjacent to the AGP slot. Next disable all that shitty Power Management stuff in the bios, next make sure Assign IRQ 2 VGA is enabled in bios and lastly turn Plug and play OS to off Share this post Link to post
