as a test..

turn off the machine..unplug it...ground yourself...open up the case..take out the CMOS battery (the only battery on the board...looks like a nickel)...hold in the power button for afew seconds (let's say 10) put the battery back in..close the case..plug it in...try to start up

do you have a soundblaster sound card?

[liquid347]

no only pci-x nvidia card

[liquid347]

is it my video card

[dsenette]

it could be.....but there's no assurances of that.....

did you do the battery thing?

[liquid347]

yes thats when the fault codes changed

[dsenette]

the code itself didn't actually change...just the fault addresses...the first two numbers are the only ones that make a difference

do you have onboard video or an expansion video card (agp, Pci, Pcie) or both?

[liquid347]

pcie video card

[dsenette]

no onboard?

do you have a spare pci or pcie card laying around?

[liquid347]

while my HDD was out my friend put it in another computer and booted it up

[dsenette]

ok...so while you were monkeying around...you took the HD out and put it in another machine and booted it? was this before or after the issues started?

[liquid347]

before any issues

[dsenette]

ok...so at some point your friend took your HD out of your pc...put it in his machne...then booted it up in HIS computer....THEN you started getting all this crud and not being able to boot to windows correct?

in safe mode right click my computer > manage > device manager > find your display adapter...is just one listed? if there are two....uninstall theo ne that's not y ours....if only yours is listed...uninstall it and restart..windows should reinstart it upon rebooting
