the craziest hardrive crash in history
« on: September 30, 2005, 07:44:12 AM »
hi everyone i want to let everyone know about the most wildest hardrive crash in the history of computers, this happened in brooklyn newyork on september 27th 2005 the reason why i call it the wildest i was sick whith a ear infection, virus and my computer got sick too and crashed hard as *censored*.check this out i was doing a *censored* of a lot of downloading music and programs and my hardrive filled up to about 85 % full and i then i notice double images on the page, the computer acting eratic and then i remember i had 4 antivirus programs running at the same time,(3  others being anti-spyware and worm guard) and so many games installed from cosmi shareware  little games to some heavy games like ghost recon, hitman 1 and 2 so on and so on i had duke nukem, manhattan prodject great game. but i lost it in this massive crash aint that a bit&^%$. anway the computer just shut off and i couldn't reboot and i tried flipping on the back switch on/off a million times nothing. and then i used this program i thought was great called winternals and what it allowed me to do was get back into my computer to do a system restore. as a matter of fact it didn't allow me to fix nothing, it said my system drivers were o.k and i thought i was safe. wrong cause when i rebooted same thing happen i coud not get back into windows xp again. and i remembered i had some bad *censored* downloads  on that computer so you know what i'm thinking i must get in it again. and get some stuff off of it like my music and a few games well i got back in saved a few things , i wanted to save duke nukem mp. *censored* it's gone... forgot to back it up.
anyway i shut down the computer again, and when i  wanted to restart poof, i couldn't  get in again< it took me about a hour to get it back up, then i noticed the computer was booting  up only because i used winternals cd. and did a clean swipe of my hardrive in fact there are two options of doing a clean swipe, if you own winternals 2005 you'll know what i mean,anyway my computer had said this weird message before it went down in poof of smoke it said in a black screen the cpu has changed do i want to refer to the bios to check settings well i checked settings, everything looked normal except in the pci pnp config settings i noticed that the escd was set to inactive(off) so i just made it active again and saved whith using f10 and rebooted i put the winternals cd in drive and it booted up and tried to boot into the winternals program i removed the cd and pressed f3 and exited, after trying wicked stuff whith winternals cd i got the baby to crank up.and i got back in.a trick i learned for all those newbies.once i was on again i wiped the computer clean again using a windows 98 boot disk and then reformated the hardrive set it as fat 32 dos drive used a large hardrive format. and restored windows xp. again whith all this new space again and a clean install i then shut off my computer again and it still hesitated to shut off and on once again. and so i shut it off from the back,(darn i hate that)anyway when i restarted my computer again it fail to start via the power on button. so again i used the winternals wicked cd trick it booted up again displayed a wierd *censored* message again the computer has change, do i wanna go in the bios again to fix something (fix what?/whish i knew what changed. anyway i got it running again but i still have sutdown and start up problems my bios is corrupted, i tried downloading drivers to flash the bios, at one point i couldn't even see the monitor go on again it stayed black,(lights out nobody home) so i changed the graphics card which was saying upon the reboot e-force 5200 instead of geforce. lol. i know the bios is effed up.but where? and what? is my question. the weirdest thing is i can still get my computer to work, i can go online. play games download chat the whole shebang.. but i cannot fix the boot up/shutdown by button mode.the computer is completely retarded when it comes to that command now.(even after 2 diskwipes)
so what should i do about this problem? buy a new motherboard is option 1.?
because the bios is on that board (built in)and i know it's outdated by 3 years cause i saw the bios information by using windows xp manager. my mother board is called first international fic v19  telephone to the store is 510-[i]252-7758[/i]
i haven't set no password in cmos and my battery is fairly good at least i believe so.i been reading forums posting my complaint  on 1 so far other than this one,called computer hope so far nobody have no answers i am on another forum called mercora im radio and i broadcast live radio sessions so i need my computer to work properly i am also a huge gamer and i have a websight and webspaces online so i can't afford to be having boot/shutdown problems it's time consuming are you familar with first mainboard? i still have my manual and i'm looking for answers like heck.i build computers too so i can't get help from my manafacturer. so if anyone on computer hope forum can offer help and advice with this major problem scenerio please answer back.
