Startup Problems
« on: July 17, 2004, 11:47:49 AM »
Im having some problems starting XP.. here's my hardware
Abit KV8-MAX3
Athlon 64 3200+
1Gb Corsair XMS 3200
Samsung 80g SATA HD
Sapphire Radeon 9800 pro
just put it together a week ago.. ran fine for a week with the exception of extreamly slow XP load times.. recently it started freezing up at the XP load screen.. it wouldnt load in safe mode.. and now the load screen wont even come up.. its giving me "disk read error occurred" right after Verifying DMI pool data
