My system won't boot into windows!!!

tofu2go · 07-04-2002, 03:24 PM

I just fired up my newly installed water cooling and I seems to work fine. On the initial boot up I was able to go into the bios and check my cpu speed. However, it began to freeze. Ok, now I tried to reboot again and it post my video card screen then the award bios screen where it posts my cpu speed/ ram/ etc. But it gets stuck there. I have an epox8kha+ and I see a post on the board saying "52". I'm not sure what that means because the manuel doesn't have that listed. Anyone know what's going on?! ahh so fustrating!

Were you able to check your temperatures? Either with a probe or get into that bios screen? Cause the symptoms are synonymous with an overclock your cooling isn't able to handle; I would assume that a non overlocked chip would also experience the same if the cooling was not adequit. Is your block mounted properly, is the pump flowing, do you have water in your system, did you apply AS2/3, are you excessively overclocking, are you running your computer in the oven, etc... Just check around your comp see if anything is out of place, other than that I really can't think of much unlss you give more symptoms/details.

Goodluck

ok i was able to check my temperature in the bios.. which I was able to access on the first boot but can't on any other boots. Secondly, I just took off the block and found that the cpu wasn't burnt or anything. Looks to be in good condition. As for the overclocking my hsf did fine when I o/c from 1.45 -->1.53ghz. Hmm... Additionally the initial cpu temp reading was 35C with water cooling.. Hmmm... :/
