Title: Crashes (Blue Screen of Death)
Post by: Michael Possnza on October 12, 2004, 04:42:08 PM

Been a great computer for the past two months

Got a blue screen of death (BSOD) on sunday and when it went to boot up I got 1 long tone and 2 short meaning the video card issue. Anyway, after reseting CMOS and playing around with different things it finally booted up correctly. Then today I got another BSOD. And after waiting and playing for about 20-30mins got it to boot up again. I guess there is something wrong with my BIOS or something. Anyone have any idea on a diganosist to run or something to do.


PS. Board is a Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 Pro
