'Elo, i think my first post... All right, here i go: I have a custom built pc with a nvidia geforce 6800 ultra agp that i made an ultra by soldering a hugebutt heatsink to it and reflashing the bios and such...then i also have a soundblaster Live! sound card. have 768 megs of ram, and no errors with that.....i have a network card of some sort and a cpu of 2.80 ghtz...so in the end a pretty well built pc... Then the problems....At first all my pc said at the start up screen where i could access the bios was that the cpu has been changed or unworkable...press F1 to continue...i continued...for a while thats all it said...I started up windows xp pro sp2 just fine.....One day my pc just turned off...Boot back up and whaddooyaknow? It boots up the splash screen of windows xp, THEN for a split second it shows the blue screen of death, for a split second. I tweaked it (4get how) and it wouldnt even show the start screen, and i then tried booting up safe mode and it hung on agp440.sys... i tweaked it and ive only gone so far and now im back where i started, boots up to splash screen, then flashes bsod.....I did what this and all the other forums said to do was try my windows xp pro disc, but now THAT wont even boot on....it stops at "setup is now checking your system configuration..." and then after 10 seconds of that, reboot.....over and over.....so i let my pc set for about 2 weeks, cause usually it fixes the problem, like many other times, and still wont work. I do realize it IS my 6800 ultra as the main problem, because the driver is like corrupt 4 windows or something, because safemode freezes on agp440.sys, and my vid card is in the agp slot(duh) So in the end, after weeks of tweaking all that stuff, i need a driver that WORKS WITH windows, and so does anyone have a program like memtest that you boot up from the cd....like driverintall or something like that....i also realize that you need an internet connection and i have that....thx for any help!
You can use a program that u put on a CD called Hiren Boot CD it works it does all the check you need to do for this kinda thing. http://www.hiren.info/pages/bootcd Hope that helps.
