HELP!!!! VCOMM is screwing my SOYO.

brj8826 · 12-30-2000, 05:49 PM

I just installed a SOYO 6BA+100 Motherboard with a Pentium III 800/100 processor. Everything seemed fine until I installed the onboard ATA 100 controller and rebooted.

I got the famous windows blue screen stating that "Windows device initialization VCOMM" Windows must restart.

This occurs directly after the VMI data pool initialization.

I am a newbie to building my own system and have no idea what to do. Please respond to this if you have any idea how to help.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

A few questions:

Did it work OK for awhile until you installed the controller, or were you in the middle of a fresh install?
Can you boot in "safe mode"?
What Windows are you running?
