System Problem, help please !!!

rahuljin · 01-05-2006, 06:50 PM

From 2 days, my system does not boot properly. when it boots and win xp starts, it hang or stop responding after 10 to 20 min. and then does not boot for 2 to 3 hrs. the hdd light is off , power LED is on and moniter LED blinks and also bios does not load.

sometime it shows an error ::

serial presence detect(SPD) device data missing or inconclusive.
properly programmed SPD device data required for relible operation.

My system:-
p4 3.0 ghz
intel d925xe mobo
2*512 mb ddr 2 (533 mhz) ram
nvidia 6800 gt ( 84.21 fireware)
160 gb sata hdd

I think there is some loose connection between device connections . ! probably heat sink may lose its job as it waitts for ideal temperature to turn sys off .

Try cleaning ur RAM . I faced a similar problem due to RAM . try place it in alternate slots or run by inserting single RAM and then other .

I have a more doubt over the culprit to be RAM

The culprit could very much be the RAM. As suggested, try taking out the RAM, cleaning it and replacing it. Try different slots. If you're monitor starts blinking, then it could be due to overheating as well - do you overclock your CPU by the way ?

rahuljin · 01-05-2006, 09:46 PM

no,t donot overclock my CPU !!!!

Can it be dust only which is creating problem ??

Vote for RAM Problem...I have suffered. and i have replaced it. Belve me! u must be thinking that iin every post i write that i have experncd the prob. but thats true as i have had many hardware problems in last 2 years and have lost a lot money for them.

parthbarot · 02-05-2006, 12:14 PM

same here... move the RAM and fit it after removing properly....i had the prob in my P3...

I suspect it to be the SMPS problem.
If RAM is fine then check out voltages levels of the SMPS.

If during POST, non-SPD memory is detected or the BIOS cannot determine that the memory installed meets SPD 100-MHz requirements, the Motherboard BIOS will display this message ELSE Try .remove ur RAM form slot in which it is inserted and reinsert it if still the prob exist insert RAM in an another slot I think it cud resolve ur prob.Becoz 80% of prob what u have stated had to do with RAM. Enjoy

I donot think it to be SMPS problem becoz he has stated that power LED is ON Implies SMPS is KO.

@ 47shailesh
It is not mandate, Smps can be faulty even if Power led and Hdd Led glows.
i had to repair my Smps and the symptoms were that both Power Led and HDD Led were GLowing Continously.

It due to some Internal Shorting of wires.

rahuljin · 07-05-2006, 04:49 PM

i have 5 extra fans in the cabinate with all that stuff !!!!

450 watts is a decent buy at 350rs ANTEC 450watts wud cost u arround 2000rs and is rarely available u have 2 order it 4rm some online shops so u better go for Intex or frontec for 450-500watts

so frontec smps will be enough for my pc

47shailesh · 07-05-2006, 08:34 PM

yes 450-500watts frontec will be a good buy as us system config seems to be power consuming.also i wud recommend good heat sink if u already own then it's ok

default heat sinks of graphic card and motherboard are quite good. though i installed 5 fans in the cabinate.

Frontech SMPS are generally good. One of my pc has frontech SMPS which I got bundled with the FRONTECH cabinet, it is working perfectly for the last 5 years. But still would suggest go for a reputed brand 450-500W. Me currently using POWERSAFE 450W.
