ok..made some changes recently to the audio box.
added 512mb ram
new processor athlon XP2400
added, or rather replaced, a hard drive
theres two IDE hds running, one 20gig for apps, one 80gig partitioned for audio/backup
so...it was all working great...but, now, when its booting I get a blue screen that says something along the lines of "hardware malfunction. please contact your hardware manufacturer. system has halted"
the first time it did it I just hard reset and fired up...then tonight it did it twice before firing up, and now...wont boot to windows
I tried disconnecting the additional drive, took out a RAM chip, etc...but still
SO...it seems it might be the 20gig causing problems...
my question is this...when I put the new drive in, I used partition magic to delete/merge a partition that was on the 20 gig, where it used to be C/E drive, i made it just C:
Ive read that PM can cause some funny shit...could that be it?
anyone?
