ive recently given a mate to an am2 board (abit nf-m2sv) its got 2 sticks of 2gb ddr800, the problem is, when it gets to the windows logo loading (win 7) it shuts off or restarts. i have tried taking out the battery to reset things but to no avail. the psu is from a working system so no problems there, the cpu in athlon 64 x2 4400. any ideas guys.

boot the computer, press F8 every second or so.

Once a black screen comes up with a few options, select the one that says

"Disable automatic system restart on failure"

Try booting the computer, and see if any error messages pop up.

If no error messages, restart the computer and do the F8 trick again, and this time select safe mode. If it still fails you will have to reinstall windows.

if this not success then try to install fresh os this is cause of corrupt files which related to the desktop like ''explorer''...

no joy on them suggestions am affraid. when you try install windows it shuts off when it gets to the end of the 'loading windows files' bar...its also a bit difficult when i am relayin suggestions to my mate whos 45 miles away and aint very computer literate lol. he said when he tried the disable automatic system restart on failure there was a blue screen for a second displaying an error which he didnt quite catch.

i'm starting to think its the motherboard thats fukd

Possibly, or the power supply. It shouldn't just power off if it was something else.

go to bios and see boot option there is option available like combination and normal your hdd is on combination change it into normal.then install

 

[drogheda1]

cant see any option like that. i will get him to try n see what the blue screen of death says.

 

[pro-gamer]

ok have you seen any option like ''compatibility'' you must put your hard drive on this option this also known as IDE.

 

[drogheda1]

he got this msg INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE 0x000007b 0x0000034

Looks like either the PSU is failing, and drops power.

Or the HD is failing, and can no longer read.

I would try replacing the HD first, as that would be the more logical issue.

 

[drogheda1]

ok

yes this is hdd problem.2 months later i also face this problem but my friend told me that go to bios and select config then select compatibiliy when i applied this trick the problem get off.
