Got in and switched my main computer on and all it says is please put in a boot device

Put a win XP pro disc in and it loads files but then it tries to start but i get this:-

Blue screen writing with this

*** STOP : 0X0000007E (0xc0000005,0xF853D0BF,0xF8989208,0xF8988F08)

*** pci.sys - Address F853D0BF base at F8536000, Datestamp 3b7d855c



HELP???

 

Sounds like the blue screen of death to me but I am sure someone with more knowledge of this will confirm

 

OK but whats packed up the hard drive or the board etc?

 

Can you re-start in safe mode? Normally a hardware or driver issue if I remember correctly

 

No it does the same thing

 

I would wait for some more opinions really as I am not too clued up on all of this.... But it don't sound good

Worst comes to the worst try your hard disk as a slave in your other PC but like I said I would wait for other opinions first

 

When i boot it says

Reboot and select proper boot device
or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key

 

maybe its finally been hit by the guilt of being a fashioned instrument that has been the main tool that has let a grade A cock infect the internet!

 

Says the man who shows his cock to the lads of passion ford

 

yes phil, but half of it was hidden in a girls mouth ....

( and it was hitting the back of her throat! )

 

Can you prove that wernt Rainbird with a wig?

NOPE

 

COME ON FOLK

 

NOT AT ALL

 

Reboot your computer with the xp disk, press r when asked to repair, and then choose your windows installation, you'll need to know the administrators password and then run this command from the command prompt chkdsk /r it usually fixes most BSOD errors.

 

cheers but i have now got no screen i changed the display setting in the bios .....when i did before do as you said it still wouldnt load as it said enter the floppy disk..i aint got a floppy disk or a disk


HELP!

 

Phil, take out the power and reset the battery jumper on the mother board.
Hopefully that will bring your display back if you been messing with the bIOS.

The as above XP Disk. Press R then CHKDSK /R

 

Gentlemen,

Before you can run a windows XP disc on a machine, you need to assatain the actual problem. In this case :



This, coupled with the error message above indicates at first a hard drive problem.

Phil,

When the computer first comes on it will look like this



Press what ever key it say's to enter setup, usually DEL.

Once in there, (depending on layout and make of bios) there should be a standard cmos setup option ?



Now, this should give you the details of the hard drives / cd writers installed.

Basically, if you have 1 hard drive and 1 cd drive and only one thing is listed, then the hard drive is not being detected.

Now, press F10 to exit and save changes, switch the pc off, take the side of the case off and unplug the power cable from the hard drive, it's the yellow, black, and red cable that goes into the har drive (bad pic)



Now, plug it back in and switch it back on. If still no joy then It would be fair to say that your hard drive is fooked

Now, you could take it to a geek with computers to see if there's any way of getting the data off the drive

 

The official responce from Microsoft when you search the knowledge base for '0X0000007E' is that you do not have all the fixes to fix the problems with service pack two which was introduced to fix the problems of service pack one which was introduced to fix....

consider though that this information is coming from a company who make fixes to fix the fixes

Without more information about your system specifications I can only point you towards what Bill thinks is the problem

 

if you need a XP floppy disk you can get it from bootdisk.com ...

 

thats what you get when you use a non tuv approved computer

 

I would remove ALL the devices the system does not need to run such as PCI network card, PCI sound card etc and then try to run the disk again.... you can always add these devices once windows is up and running

 

that middle hard drive is going to cook and die

 

Cheers guys but it DOES detect the hard drive in the Bios...will try some more tonight!..Its got about 20 films on it and a collection of dodgy naked women

 

have you tried removing all the cards that the pc does not require to run ?

 

...its all on board bar the graphics card.

 

Hard drive? the whole system is at risk seriously that needs sorting mate

What you want is a modular psu, something like mine

 

The system is fine chap's, and it has to be a little untidy with 7 hard drives in it, and 2 fan's on the back, fan on the graphics card, and an exhaust fan sitting below the graphics card

Pic to follow

 

You CAN get it more tidy if you had a modular psu like the one i have, then you only use the wires you want, instead of having loads of unused wires clogging the case up.

I expect you dont really care if it works ok but im just saying there is a way to get it looking better even with all your hard drives

 

That is how it looks, now, bearing in mind there is, 7 hard drives, 1 dvd rom, 1 dvd rw, 2 fan's on the back, a graphics card that needs power, and the exhaust fan that's underneath the graphics card that requires power, short of cable tying everything together, there's no real way to tidy it up, bearing in mind I am often switching hard drives



Current CPU temp is 47 degrees

 

That is rather warm 47, my AMD X2 4200 is about 33-34 after 2 hours of playing battlefield 2142 online.

But you should still be ok at that assuming you have AMD as they can run pretty warm.


EDIT, what would you do if someone nicked your tower with all your HDD's, your life is on there by the looks of it

 

Of course I have AMD, don't you read any of my post's



Edited for the added extra question

Even if you did nick the tower, there are security measures I've put in place

 

MY POST.....HELP ME

 

I thought you did, just didnt know if the above pic was of another pc or maybe you had changed it.

 

 

my core2duo is the same :P

 

thats like a standard xr2i to my 800hp cossie

 

 

sorry

Think of it as a free back to the top aint it
