Many Hardware Problems

Ive been having many wierd problems with my computer and i was hoping that this forum could help me...

At first my problem was that every time i would set the CPU external freq to higher than 133, the entire system would crash... this however was solved later...

Right now the problem is the hard drive... A lot of times i would get into a reboot cycle where it would either hang on mup.sys or restart even before windows began to boot up...

Here is the timeline of what ive done to solve the problem:

I sent in the Motherboard to the manufacturer and they gave me a new one... still same problems

Bought a new stick of memory and switched it out to see if that was the problem... still nothing

Sent in the CPU and got a brand new one back... this solved the external freq problem, however the hard drive problems still existed...

I took a hard drive out of my brothers computer and plugged it in, installed windows on it and booted up... it booted into windows and would run stabaly while in windows... however the same things would keep happening on startup

I ran windows for a while, and it would run fine as long as i NEVER restarted... however recently i have been having a few problems... I could hear the hard drive clicking on and off, which would cause MAJOR slow downs and occasionally freeze everything all togeather...

I had researched that this may be caused by a shortened wire... so i switched power supply connectors, and now oddly enough i cant boot into windows at all... it says that the \WINNT\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM is corrupted or missing...

If anyone has any idea on how to help me i would REALLY appreciate it... ive been having problems for months now and i would really like to get some closure

Here are my system specs:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
Asus A7n8x Motherboard
2x Kingston 256MB 3200... 1x Crucial 512 MB 3200
Antec Sonata Black Case with 380W power supply
2x WD 40 GB HDs... and 1x Maxtor 120GB HD
ATI Radeon 9600 XT
Memorex 16x DVD-ROM

and if it makes any difference... i am using a "backup" copy of Windows XP Pro... incase that might cause some problems...
 
Sounds like your processor isn't configured properly.

133 Ext Freq on an AMD 3000 ?

should be either 166 if you have the 3000+ with the 333MHz FSB or more likely 200 if you have the 3000+ with 400MHz FSB.

Make sure your VCore is 1.65 at stock settings; if it continues to reboot when you startup try slowly increasing the VCore in .05v increments (1.65, 1.70, 1.75) make sure your processor doesnt overheat.

go here http://www.thedigerati.us/info/amdcpuchart.html

1) make sure your multiplier, external clock and FSB are all at stock settings.

2) Use a voltmeter and check out your power supply voltages yellow should be +12 and red +5 (or try using a different power supply)


Also, try running diskcheckup fromm http://www.passmark.com/ftp/diskcheckup.zip
check all of your SMART attributes and make sure your drive isn't on the verge of mechanicle failure.


You said you have the ASUS A7N8X motherboard, is it just the standard version or is it deluxe? also is it Revision 2.x or 1.x ?

If it's 1.x, that motherboard is not capable of supporting a 400MHz FSB and you may need a new mobo / cpu or have to underclock

    Luckily I live in an age with electricity so it's way fucking faster, but when I was just a boy trying to find my place I had some hardcore chefs that made use do things like that by hand. It is WAY easier to get right by hand because you control it and can feel it, but it takes soooooo much longer. And on the scale a modern kitchen requires... I serve 400-500 guests on average per day right now, if I had 100 then we could do things way better
  • Varine Varine:
    But we can't do that. In the winter yeah, but I HAVE to get people through here right now so I can afford the staff that we CAN do that. We have about 100 days of summer, and if that summer doesn't make us what it will, then I can't operate the other most of the year with my staff. The owner is talking about closing two days a week to cut down on labor, I told him he should cut down on vacations and it did not go great. I do think I won though, I have to keep my fucking core staff and they have to be gainfully employed
  • Varine Varine:
    Sure some of them might take a second job, but I can't just cut my entire staff to unlivable hours, nor can I can cut them off all winter if I want them to come back.
  • Varine Varine:
    And also, there is no fucking way I'm pulling these hours come september. I only do this right now because I have to, the second I don't have to be the one doing it I won't be
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a 5 person core staff in the kitchen, not including me or Chef Ben
  • Varine Varine:
    Though two of those people are likely not making it this year. One of them has been replaced, the other I am kind of trying to. He's being a giant bitch, today I had to get onto him because in the three hours before I left he had taken like thirty minutes for cigarette breaks
  • Varine Varine:
    And he was also complaining to me the other day that he was out of weed so couldn't smoke any before work that day, and was confused about why I was annoyed he was telling me, his boss, that he is smoking weed everyday before work.

    Like yeah I can tell. I don't need to fucking know.
  • Varine Varine:
    So now he's getting scrutinized and will not be top of the list. I know I don't have the smartest people but I do expect them to have some common fucking sense
  • Varine Varine:
    I did do a rare thing for me and hire a girl last month without warning. Everyone was made at me because I started her at like 21, but she worked with me before and I was like don't care. She made 19 at her old job and I wanted her to come work with me, she is the best

  • Varine Varine:
    I'm going to get her a raise at the end of the summer. She wants to go to school again, but I want her to still work with me so.... she kind of can just tell me what the price is. I can go to 25 if she keeps up. I need to get her onto line more, that's what she wants, but I need her where she is and it's not fair that she doesn't get the little bit of raise that comes with it. She can do it no problem, I've worked with her there.
  • Varine Varine:
    It's just hard to move and train people unnecessarily right now. And also the line fucking sucks, it's not any more fun. This is turn and burn so I have the bankroll, and everyone suffers for it
  • Varine Varine:
    Eventually we'll get it balanced, we'
  • Varine Varine:
    we're starting online orders and stuff, but I also turn that off all the time because I barely keep up trying to be the best at Sysco shit
  • Varine Varine:
    I think it's gonna be a good fall and winter though. We're going to have a good staff, they will get along, they will be able to manage the workload and the complications, they know how to really cook this year, like every person on line knows their steak temps. Some of them use thermometers a lot and they don't always use them right, but they do know how to do it. Failure, especially in this field, is the only way to get better. They'll get it
  • Varine Varine:
    They won't get feel down while they do the thermometer, but we didn't have an instant read probe when I was learning. Like they did but god knows how off it is, you HAD to do it by feel. Even if the chef was fine with me bringing my own, it takes too long. Poke and know

    I recently had an experience with a waiter that really brought down @Varine's point about them being in sales. The first waiter just asked "anything else? deserts?" and when the table shook their head said "ok" and left. Then the other waiter came in and started going off describing the deserts and you could see the heads turning, and they finally got a bunch of deserts
  • jonas jonas:
    :p
  • jonas jonas:
    makes sense if you consider that the tip is basically a commission on sales
