NeilFogg Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Hi i bought this computer listed below about a month ago. Windows Vista Beta install does not go, installs fine followed by errored startup with "ntfs.sys" and "djsvs.sys" files missing or currupt. Can't get passed it, even with attempted repair Windows Professional sp 2 installs, however very unstable, I have found to that some of the supplied drivers make things worse. Some of the Nvidia and Realtek. Also the leadtek driver seems flooky. I think most of my problems are related to RAM. I have gone through the tutorials found here so many time, trying different values. Sometimes windows will not start until after a few random and unexpected restarts (mostly after windows logo loads). Will also get random system erros about files being currupted and windows having to repair them. In bench mark 3D test erros regarding missing files often display. -Have run mem test -segate online error software -bench mark 3d often failes due to missing files, or unable to load errors Could anyone give me a hand, my patients is running thin... all I want to do is play some BF2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 You said that you have run Memtest. Did you run tests #5 and #8 for a minimum of 8-10 passes and then run the complete test for at least 3-4 hours at stock settings?

I remeber running the test over night and it finding no errors, however i will run it again tonight, all night and put what i find on here.

CharmedLover84 Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 My recommendation, although I don't know for that particular video card, for starters, would be to update to the 84.21 drivers for the video card for sure, those are the best performing and most stable drivers for my 7900s as well as my 7800GTX I currently have in my system. Have you tried a complete reinstall yet? Although that didn't fix my problem yours sounds like just the kinda problem it can fix.

davidk21770 Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 For my 7900, I found 84.54 to be even better than 84.21. You can get it here: http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?id=10 I've also read that DFI MBs do not like Kingston RAM. Even if it passes memtest overnight, can you borrow some different RAM from a friend? Or, try to install windows with just one stick? Or, with a divider?

NeilFogg Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Hi guys, ran memtest86 v1.65 for 8 hours last night. 18 passes, 0 errors. I have installed windows many a times now all with similar results. I will maybe pick up some other RAM, but i was wondering if anyone had any idea on things in BIOS that i might have missed, or perhaps some setting that should provide stability to MY system.

lowboy Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Have you run dual prime? As memtest does not show how memory works within windows. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
