Hardware Malfunction?

Recommended Posts

Anyone ever ran across this error installing XP or 2k? This is the same machine I ran 2k on for almost a year, nothing has changed except I had my mobo RMAed. Followed every suggestion in the kb but no help. http://www.kbalertz.com/redir.aspx?kbs=41092

 

*** Hardware Malfunction

Call your hardware vendor for support

*** The system has halted ***

Only ever seen that once when i was trying to power a system with too small a psu.

I removed or changed every piece of hardware in it trying to trace the problem. Even put in a new 400w PSU. Maybe I was sent a bad mobo?

I should add that it's been running Win98 for a couple weeks without a single problem. 98 sucks when you're used to NT. smile Why would 98 run and not NT?

I had to reinstall windows after the install of the new psu, otherwise it would return the same error on boot. (Many installs failed though with the old psu).
