WinXP (sp1 all updates until about 3 or 4 weeks ago) /98SE Dual boot
ECS K7S5A v 3.1
Last Sunday I installed Motherboard Monitor... this may be a red herring, as
it ran OK until today, but that and a lost connection mssg with my HP
Photosmart 1215 are the only things of any remarkable note.
Today I rebooted XP and got as far as the splash screen where the green line
runs across and then the screen went blank and stayed that way.
Restarted to the Normal Start with same results.
Start with Last Known Good Configuration did the same.
Started Safe mode and removed MotherBoard Monitor with no joy.
Started Safe mode and did a Restore Point to Saturday, when I restarted it
got to the same spot and died... but when I went back to Safe Mode it said
'Restore Successful', yet when I tried to restart I still only got to the
same Splash with green bar and then black and let it wait it out for over 5
minutes with not so much as a flicker out of the HD light.
Device Manager shows nothing unusual.
Win98SE boots and runs fine.
Could MM5 have some issue with my board's controllers that would not go away
with an Add/Remove?
Not sure where I want to go from here, but this is all I can think of with
only one cup of coffee in me.
