Any chance they have an external usb hdd anywhere? This will occassionally cause that board (and several others) to hang
Hey don't worry about breaking up the Dell thread between that and a stupid 'High School Musical' thread in another list of mine today it seems like I've only discussed 2 things in 24 hours. :) CW Sent via BlackBerry from Cingular Wireless -----Original Message----- From: FORC5 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Thu, 17 Aug 2006 18:02:17 To:[email protected] Subject: [H] very weird problem / not Dell :{) customer complaining that occasionally system no boot with hard drive error. I have yet to duplicate error but that is not the weird part. Figuring maybe HD or PSU I put in a new Hitachi drive. when at the desktop any keyboard strokes locks it up hard. Does not do this with the older maxtor. Have tried two different new hitachi drives. Tried a different PSU thinking maybe not enough power with the new drive. Possible compatibility with the MB ???? older system, ECS k7s5a. No blown caps on mb or in psu. I know there could still be bad ones though. I believe the most current bios. memtest runs clean any ideas appreciated. fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Nickel: Once good for getting the wrong number with.
