I have a Gigabyte 7vtxe+ mobo with an Athlon XP1800 cpu. Graphics card
is a Radeon 7200 64mb. OS is Windows XP, 256mb ram pc2100.
At present, although the board appears to power up, ie the CPU fan is
working, I have a blank screen, no beeps, no hard drive whirring.
My problems appear to have started since I purchased a USB wireless
Keyboard and Mouse. The PC would boot, but before it got to the
windows logo, it would boot again. Sometimes, I had to press the reset
button. Sometimes it would say that windows has not shut down
correctly, press enter to boot normally. The keyboard even at this
stage was working.
I then discovered I needed to set to "enable USB legacy" in the bios.
This improved the booting up, but not 100%.
A few days ago, whilst using musicmatch, the pc re booted itself. After
getting a back in, it then would freeze. I decided to do a clean
reinstall, It was not successful, I ended up with several programs not
installing correctly, ie the install would hang.
I managed to get the pc into safe mode, but was promptly given a blue
stop screen with 8e messages which apear to be memory issues. However,
even if i take out the memory chip, i would expect the mobo to bleep,
but i get nothing.
Does anypone have any ideas. I have no decided to but a new board and
cpu, but I am interested to find out what went wrong. Could the USB
wireless keyboard have caused the problem as I expect I have now got a
dead board.
Many thanks
