Should I be worried?

NuTs62 · 04-11-2002, 07:53 PM

Interesting day I had with my computer. Stepped away from it, and it crashed. Had to replace my network card, then other things started to work better for me.

I was finally able to update my video card drivers, and therefore solving my computer crashing problem. But after I installed the drivers for the video card, while windows was closing the programs to restart, there was a program it was attempting to close with the title "You should not see me" or something like that. Should I be worried?

Probably not, unless it reoccurs.

Some programs just seem to not want to shut down. Used to be a really common problem on Win95... your pc would just hang on the waiting to shut down screen.

If it doesn't happen again, don't worry.

If it does, see if you can identify what's not shutting down properly...

Actually correction, I think what it said is "Me should not be seen".

My computer crashed when I was attempting to download a driver. Reboot, the NIC didn't work again. It would say something like MAC ADDR, and then numbers, and then give me another message, and stop there. Reboot several times, same thing occurs. I have to take out the NIC, and put it back in before it boots up again. aHHH!

Okay okay, so I guess many of you will be saying I told you so. My IBM 45GB HD, at least I think it was that one, was making clicking noises. I've got my fingers crossed!

Be very worried!

Thats the message I get in a blue screen of death. After that, I'm forced to reboot, and then my NIC goes out of whack. After replacing the NIC with another, I'm able to restart the computer. But it can't connect to the net. So now I'm on my sis's computer.

So anyone know what da hell that error msg means, and how I can fix it?

Ya, youre OS is fooked beyond repair basically. Reformat/reinstall is the best line of repair now I think...

When you get repeated 'kernel' errors, it is never solved easily. Like it was said before, format and reinstall the OS and pray!

Dangit!

Just when I got my video card to work, and stop crashing my system! Ugh, I guess I can't put it off any longer.

modena · 04-12-2002, 02:53 AM

I reformat pretty often. The computer runs so much better after one... like a detoxicification!!

Idlie · 04-12-2002, 05:24 PM

you said your hd makes clicking noises?
i recommend you call it in and get a new hard drive. sounds like you have a bad drive head, if your reformat use a new hd.

also here are some other things to try:
disconnect your hd, and boot up with a start disk that has nic drivers see if you can connect to your sister's machine
if that works then the problem is not your nic

you should do a stress test on your hard drive also the manufacture's website will have ulilities for that kinda stuff

well have a go at that first and tell us how it goes

I'd do a reformat.

The problems of IBM hard drives dying are well known here at Gotapex.

Yeah IBM will recommend doing a low level format on the deathstar and that will work for a while. Time to backup the information and look for another brand of hard drive to buy {look in deals forum}

Like I said in another thread, I got a replacement for my 45G 75gxp that went bad, but I don't feel very comfortable trusting it in a raid 0 array (especially because the replacement is one of the Made in Phillipines ones, which are particularly notorious). When I saw that deal on the "WD" spec. ed. oem, that clinched it for me (as long as I get the 2 I ordered). I'll use the IBM drives for backups for something. Anybody want to buy a factory-sealed 45G 75GXP?

NuTs62 · 04-20-2002, 07:06 PM

Welp, I've reformatted my system. The system seems to be running smoother this time around. I ran IBM's lil diagnostic app, and it supposedly fixed a bad sector, or rather allocated my data to other drives. I couldn't run the diagnostic on my RAID 0 drives though, it just wouldn't detect. But since then, no clicking sounds.

I found out the reason for my system crashing is because a firewire port is sharing the same IRQ as my Radeon 8500.. My HD doesn't seem to let me change the IRQ settings, gotta do it through windows.. doh!

As for replacing my HD's, heh, I might get in on the WD deal. I'm already out of HD space

Though I know I'm gonna be kicking myself when 200GB+ HDs comes out around this price.
