Gratz tve, your from this day forward called tvn, the very noob. Nice to see you in a team again, i think youll suit in perfectly. A crazy guy joining even more crazy guys....great success!!
I now placed one of the rams in another slot, and on the little LED display on the MB it now shows "10". This is a error code that stands for "Autodetect EEPROM". I have no clue what that means though... The LED display showed "FF" yesterday with the RAMs correctly placed. "FF" stands for "Boot".
EDIT: I tried my luck and connected my USB keyboard + mouse and pressed the start button. And then i suddenly got the little beep from the MB and the startup texts finally showed up on the screen. I pressed F1 to continue to startup (maybe i should have pressed DEL to enter BIOS), and then i was left with a message saying that there was an error connecting to the boot hard drive. I pressed enter and the screen went black again. When i now try to turn the comp. on again, the story is the same as when i started the topic. Bah...this is horrible!
EDIT2: Finally.....I reset the cmos and the computer finally started. When i tried to load windows from the hard drive i got this message: "Windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem.
Could not read from the selcted boot disk. Check boot patch and disk hardware.Please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware reference manuals for additional information"
I then sat the dvd rom to the first boot priority and inserted the vista disk. That worked, and i'm now reinstalling windows. Hurray, problem solved
I bought a new MB (EVGA nforce 780i SLi) and a new CPU (Intel core duo 8400), and got it all working nicely with the rest of my hardware earlier today. Installed Vista home premium, together with the MB drivers. Restarted the computer and everything was still running flawlessly. I then connected to the web and downloaded the graphics drivers for my two 8800GTS cards. Windows Update also started downloading a good amount of updates. When it was done, i restarted to finish off the updates and the installation of the graphics drivers. But the computer now won't boot. All of the hardware starts to run (fans, GPU's, HDD's etc) but there are no "beep" that usually comes from the mb on startup, and the screen stays black. i've got one blue led, one green led and one orange led that turns on when i press the power button. I've tried removing one of the GPU's, one of the RAMs and i've also removed both of my HDD's without any luck.
Rest of my HW:
Crucial DDR2 BallistiX PC8500 2048MB two matched 1024
Gainward GeForce 8800GTS 640mb
XFX Geforce 8800GTS 640mb
PSU: 700W About half a year old.
Just wanted to make a thread here regarding Nadals awesome win in the Wimbledon final today. The match against Federer is the best tennis match i have ever seen, and i think a lot of other tennis fans agree! The excitment was almost unberable, it's one of the greatest sportsrelated experiences i have ever had
The next big thing now is the Olympics, on hard court. Will be very exciting!
Go Rafa
Hello Amso, and welcome to LFS I cannot help you on the track atm, but you should start with getting some nice setups (setupfield or setupgrid would be good places to start if you won't make the setups your self), and also download some wr replays from lfsworld. Those can help you with finding the right braking points and driving lines.
Just have to make a post about the "Team Racing" event that i participated in today. GREAT fun! The concept with a "slow" driver switching with a "fast" driver during a race is genius!
