problems with new pc

[id10x]

hi i got numbers of problems happening

after i installed i got a restart then a message saying my registry log file is missing
and windows had to re copy it then the pc restart and it stops saying a sys configuration
file is missing ..

i tried to install again with different os (working with my old pc )
then i started getting this blue screen over and over :

irql is not less or equal

check to see if ure s/w h/w is properly installed ex ....

stop : 0x0000000A (0xf70001ffE) 0x0000001c 0x0000000 0x805021de

i remember seeing different kinds of blue screens also

at start i noticed it dosnt count the memory or show any info and the only thing
i see is : there is no hard disc detected

but the hard disc is working


help please

[id10x]

here is the other blue screen

check to see if you have adequate disc space if a driver is identified in the stop
message disable the driver and disable bios memory options such as caching
or shadowing .

address f7737672 base at f7737000 datestams 480254ce

Is your SATA controller in the IDE, AHCI, or RAID mode? Are you using only the Intel ICH connectors, and do you have the Marvell controller disabled? What OS?

[id10x]

personally i have no idea . my cousin is in his way to my house i called him and told him
what you said . he said he understand what you said and will reply to you when he gets here

just in case you were away please tell us here if you need him to do certain things to test
while you come back . thanks

[id10x]

Are you using only the Intel ICH connectors ?

[id10x]

yes ok sorry as you see am so confused


after another install attempt i got that message again :

windows cannot start because of missing or corrupt file

windows/sys32/config/system

[id10x]

they are telling me my ram is not compatible with the mb and that i need

667 hz ram not 800 hz is that possible ?

http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/corsair-xm...-p-178239.html

is this ram not compatible with my system ?

do we have to set ram voltage manually ?

[Khalil]

That is a load of garbage. 800 or 667 will work just fine. Something is seriously wrong and you need professional help at this stage before you get it all messed up. I am sure there must be someone in Egypt who repairs computers.
can these guys help you maybe?http://board.classifieds1000.com/Egy...All_Cairo_Giza
On a forum we can only do so much to help you.

[id10x]

yes but they said they sticked a 2 g 667 ram stick in and the system worked perfectly

maybe the 800 corsair ram is faulty ? or it needs to be set the voltage manually from the mo?

[id10x]

khalil the system liked the 2 gb 667 kingston ram stick we installed windows 7 ultimate the system is normal no blue screens no crashes i played XIII Century: Death or Glory for 2 hours on max settings
with no issues .. it must be the corsair ram ..
all we need now is to decide what ram we need here .. the guys are kinda worried to set
ram voltages manually from the mb saying why dont we just use this ram as it works
is it really much slower than my other corsair ram ? i mean if i put another 2 gb stick
in there of same kind would i be ok ? the ram sticks dosnt have a heat sink like
my corsair is that an issue ? what do u advise ? is there a safe way to make the corsair ram work?

[Khalil]

Only if you have another system that accepts DDR2 800 Ram where you can test it, we have test tools for memory but I doubt you have that. I don't know what to tell you. It is very possibly the memory is faulty.

[id10x]

guys what do we do now please :

1_ try to set the voltage manuly from the mother board ? is that dangerous to the pc ?

2_ give it up and use the current kigston rams ? like the 667 ones ? will that bottle neck
my pc ? will it have strong effect of the performance if i put 4 g of that ram ?

[Khalil]

If the Kingston works and corsair don't then you need to use the Kingston and send the Corsair back. That is the only thing I can recommend. Messing with voltages when you don't know what you are doing could be bad.

[id10x]

ok i cant send them back to uk now but the local store is offering me to take the corsair
and give me 2 sticks of kingston 2 gb each at 667 they just look normal without
heat sinks or anything ..

will they effect my pc performance in games ? or bottle neck my pc ?
should i just go for them and live on or try to get something with 800 that works ?
thats the only issue i am trying to solve now . thanks

667 will not effect anything, you won't be able to tell the difference, go for it and enjoy your machine!!

yupyyyy thats what i wanted to hear .. ill give him the corsair today and get another stick
of that Kingston .. they dont have a heat sink tho like the corsair . should i worry
about that ?

[LeftyAce]

No. The heatsink is helpful if you're going to overclock and overvolt the ram, which you aren't.

[id10x]

yes am not . ok back to party then . its been a hard 2 days .. thanks dudes

[id10x]

i was just reading on the ram its not even 2.1 v its 1.8 so what seem to be the problem here ?

haw do i disable marvel sata controller in bios ? i dont need it enabled right ?

[glc]

You do not need or want it enabled if you aren't using it.

Advanced, onboard devices. Disable the Marvell IDE if you don't have any IDE devices.

I stand corrected - the additional SATA ports are controlled by a Sil controller, not the Marvell. To turn that off:

Tools, disable Drive Xpert Control.

[id10x]

ok i did it thanks .. the controller gave me a problem today and freezer while at start up
so i am better disabling it

[glc]

Definitely. Uninstall the drivers too.

[id10x]

which ones exactly ? i tried removing ide ata/atapi controllers but windows kept reinstalling
them automatically

[glc]

No, those you need. Use ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS to uninstall the Marvell IDE and Sil Drive Xpert drivers, IF they appear in there.

[id10x]

no i dont see them
