Weird Startup Problems
My computer is acting strangely. If I shut it down overnight and turn it on in the morning, it takes up to five minutes to boot up and tells me it has just recovered from a serious system error. The strange thing is, once it boots up, if I were to restart it, it reboots in much less than a minute. I do not understand why this could be happening. It is a very new computer that I just recently built and has been like this for a while now.
My comp has: -http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817103931 -two sets of http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820145449 (2 -gigs total) -http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814130231 -http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813123246 -http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103514 -two http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148040 that are raid0 together Thanks a lot. |

Your links are screwed up. Type out your system specs.
What operating system are you using? What kind of background programs are you running? Anti-virus, firewall, etc... What have you done to fix the problem? Any other problems with this computer? Cricket

Sorry, it is an AMD 64bit 3500+ with two 80gig Raid0 harddrives. 2 gigs of Corsair RAM (4 sticks of 512), EPoX 9NPA+SLi nForce4 motherboard. Antec 550Watt power supply.
I have done nothing to try to fix it, as I do not know what to do. If I just restart the computer once it's up and running, it restarts lightning fast, but if I shut it down for just a little while, it takes forever to boot up and gives me a message several times saying that it's just recovered from a serious error, and when I "report" it, it tells me that it's some driver issue, but it will not tell me what driver caused it. Using WindowsXP Pro. No other major problems. Thanks |

Do you have any USB or firewire devices plugged in during bootup? Try unplugging all devices other than keyboard and mouse and see if you have a problem.

Nothing but keyboard/mouse plugged in. Again, what I don't understand is why it would only have so much trouble booting up if it's been shut down for a little while as opposed to just being restarted or shut down and immediately started back up.

Have you tried running a BIOS update. I see http://www.epox.com/USA/article.asp?ID=1936 has a fix with issue related to PWRON
