Subj : Shutdown Before Boot To : All From : Terinjokes Date : Wed May 18 2005 07:26 am Hello, My computer is expiencing some problems. The processor dies before it finshes booting. When i turn it on i get to the GRUB screen, and can select either XP or Red Hat. If i select XP i can get to an error that says 'You clock seems to be wrong, windows can help you set it right'. Of Course it would be wrong as i cleared BIOS hoping that would fix it. If i select Red Hat (Fedora Core 3) i can get to the splash screen and it dies when it goes to load KDE (or GNOME, i like KDE but GNOME is also on there). Its not my hard drive (KNOPPIX freezes at the exact same spot), nor graphic card (tried my friends card), and tried with and without keyboard/mice (never know) and without a graphics card (i guess it freezes in BIOS as it never seems to turn its self off, nor play the Windows/Red Hat start-up music (windows is default). All wires are hooked up right, and everything is in its slots. What can cause this problem? ---------------------------- Terinjokes Script Techician (HTML) AboveUltimate.com --- þ Synchronet þ Dynamite, Click-Click-Boom! Part of BBSing.com .
