| 1147232 | 2010-10-24 01:56:00 | I spent about 15 hours building a AMD955. First computer I built in almost 3 years so I wanted to do a good job and I treated it like a hobby. I'm 63 with a type 1 personality so I figure I'll just take my time and enjoy. I got it all built and working and I was so proud of myself. I was loading a driver for my webcam with the help of a tech on the phone and I rebooted and got the blue screen of death. I roll back my computer several time all the way back, work on it for 4 hours, tried to load Windows 7 and still got the blue screen of death and tried different hard drives. I was fit to be tied. I had to take a chill pill just to take it back and now I'm going to have to wait a couple of weeks before I can build another one. This is what happens when you get old and cranky. Sorry about this post, I just had to vent. | lostsoul62 (16011) | ||
| 1147233 | 2010-10-24 02:18:00 | RULE ONE: Once built make an image of C:. Then start adding your extras. Once complete and working make another image. Keep it safe for moments like this. Saves hours of stuffing around. |

Saves hours of stuffing around. I have lots of images of all my OS's but in this case I don't think it would of done any good because I coundn't even load Windows 7 without the blue screen of death and I did try 2 hard drive. Roll back should of taken care of any screw up dirver and that didn't work. Funny thing I was going to make an image in about an hour after I got everything working. |

| 1147236 | 2010-10-24 08:54:00 | Rule 3: there is no rule 3. ever Paradox. Hate it when stuff like this screws up (cough, days of yore with vista cough) I used to BSOD Win98 SE alot. back then I couldn't be bothered fixing, i'd format HDD and clean install. at least once a week. gave me something to do. as a 13yr old I always had something to break in order to fix! |
