562298	2007-06-24 22:48:00	Bad. If its coming from the hard drive its a sign of its coming death. I wonder if this is just a dead or dying battery on the motherboard and the BIOS not holding settings? First thing I would have tried.	Sweep (90)

562301	2007-06-25 07:40:00	This a weird one ok, it loaded up the XP fine, put in all drivers still went well, been using it for a few hours then guess what, the p...k of a thing wouldn't boot [blue screen] STOP FATAL ERROR, THE WINDOWS LOGON PROCESS SYSTEM PROCESS terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0X00000004 Its now finding the drive every time i reboot, the BIOS time isn't resetting back or anything, its holding good time. I put the XP cd in and used repair, its working now, i am using it now, but during the repairing process it stopped a few times saying it couldn't copy a few files, so i just keep pushing enter for it to keep going. any of this sound like something you have come across ? the hard drive or whatever it was clicking is not clicking today, just to make it more confusing thanks guys	Ron40 (10475)
562302	2007-06-25 13:44:00	Its now finding the drive every time i reboot, the BIOS time isn't resetting back or anything, its holding good time. Does that mean that it was losing the boot drive and the time before?, this would definitely indicate a flat or nearly dead cmos (bios) battery (they usually only last 3 or 4 years), which may have charged-up a little, it will die again, you should replace it (is about $6 from DSE). Sweep said the same thing earlier :p You may have other probs tho, that 'couldnt copy files', while repairing installation doesnt sound good (iffy os cd?).	feersumendjinn (64)

Thanks, i will put another battery in, i finished up checking in device manager and seen a yellow exclamation mark at the VIA CPU to AGP controller, so i uninstalled it rebooted and windows must have installed it, this time anyway, everything in "device manager" looks ok, but when i go to "display" properties in " Control panel " i have no setup for changing or setting anything that is suppose to be there, there is only "theme properties " to use, nothing else shows up, at all. I am thinking its the mobo itself, its been around long enough, the XP cd is ok, never had any problems loading up my good pc , only this one. So far its use able, but for how long ?? luckily its only my spare. anyway thanks very much everyone, Ron	Ron40 (10475)

562306	2007-06-26 11:32:00	The drives on its way out. The hard drive may be nearly dead as you say. The CMOS battery may be dead. As I am not where the poster lives I am not in a position to diagnose the problem.	Sweep (90)
