HawkBoy 0 Posted March 24, 2001 When I install it (it installs "succesfullty", . . .), it kills my pc! When I restart, it gives me one of those stop errors, tells me to turn off all new hard-drives, uninstall any new IDE controllers and restart! This happenes in the middle of the start up screen (the one with the Win2k logo and the progress bar). I have an AMD 550, 128 RAM, MSI motherboard, and a MAXTOR 30GB 7200RPM. I have installed SP1 on another hard-drive in the same system and it works fine, so I'm guessing its my hard-drive! What should I do!? Any and all recommendations/advice are welcom! I have NO CLUE what to do! BTW I've run chkdsk and done a diskscan on my C drive! Share this post Link to post
D.F. Angel 0 Posted March 25, 2001 Do You really need SP1. If you don't, then don't install it. I kinda had the same problem with my western digitals, my comp would just stop during heavy usage. Did you try safe mode, and trying to uninstall it from there. If you have, I don't know what else to do, but reinstall Share this post Link to post
HawkBoy 0 Posted March 25, 2001 It gives me the "Stop Error" even when I do safe mode! And you're right I don't really need the SP1, but it would be nice to install it (it's supposed to speed you up, . . .) Fortunately (I think), this was the second time this happened. Last time I had to re-install windows. This time I had a ghost image of my HD, so . . . Thnx Share this post Link to post
DosFreak 2 Posted March 25, 2001 There's an article on this somewhere on Microsoft. Do you own an IBM hd? (I think I'm confusing this with another issue) Share this post Link to post
euankirkhope 0 Posted March 25, 2001 yeah, I found that my pc reboots when a network folder is browsed! To name a few other minor problems. Share this post Link to post
