I've installed a "new" (refurbished) VT7 board in my machine. It goes
through POST fine, until right before the Windows XP Pro initial boot
screen, when it shows a message (below) on a blue screen for just a split
second. The message flashes for maybe a tenth of second, then the machine
starts the boot process all over again in an endless cycle.
Here's the message.....
"A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent
damage on your computer.
If this is the first time you've seen this error screen, restart your
computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:
"Check for viruses on you computer. Remove any newly installed hard drive
controllers. Check your hard drive to make sure it is properly configured
and terminated. Run chkdsk /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then
restart your computer."

"Technical Information:

"***STOP: 0x0000005B (0xF7985528,0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X.........."


There are no viruses on the system. I re-seated everything, flashed to the
latest BIOS, tried various BIOS settings, all appears normal, but no dice.
I finally gave up and re-installed the old MB so I could send this. It's
working fine with the old board.
The old board is a TH7II, no RAID.
P4 2.8 GHz
250 GB WD HD
200 GB WD HD
TDK CD/RW
ASUS CD/ROM
Visiontek Geforce 3
This is all that was in at the time.

My feeling is that the board is junk, even though it's been "re-furbished".
Any thoughts?

One more thing I forgot to mention....this is NOT a RAID configuration.
Just two separate hard drives.

After thinking about this some more............is it possible that I need to
do a fresh install of Windows XP to get this thing to boot?

Hi PaulB,

if what I just glanced at is correct, the VT7 uses the VIA PT880
chipset, and the TH7II used the Intel 850 chipset--and, if that is in
fact the motherboard you are switching from, it used Rambus RIMM memory
modules.

If that is the case, I think there is no way you could do a "repair"
type install--too many chipset/internal IO registry and other settings
are going to be borked up--like trying to put a Honda engine in a Volvo:
possible, but, not worth the effort.

I think that a clean install is always best anyway--it's a pain to
reinstall all the applications, but, system always runs better afterwards.

THT, GL,

BC

BC is right...it almost never works just to swap motherboards. Even if
it did work, its not really a good solution. Back up your files and do
a clean install.
