My computer totally stops functioning and a gray screen appears saying:
“***Hardware malfunction*** Contact hardware vendor for support *** system
has halted ***â€
I put this computer together and had no problems until I installed XP. When
it locks it also makes whatever sound it had when it locks. Is there a way to
see what is causing the lock? I’ve tried the troubleshooting
FAQ on the software and got nowhere. When it locks it locks I’ve found no
way to continue other then killing the power to the motherboard and
restarting. There is no rhyme or reason to the lock no common timing or
software or hardware.
Thank You
Update:
After searching around found I have a Item under "other device",
PCI simple communication controller.
I have tried finding a driver for this but have no clue what it is, all my
PCI cards devices are accounted for.
I think it must be something on the motherboard
(133MHZ PIII MICRO ATX MOTHERBOARD WITH FLIP-CHIP SUPPORT0,
but have no clue what this PCI controller is. Is there a way to look up the
hardware id that I found under the details tab in
the device properties.
I’m hoping this is the problem and not another one.
