RyanG Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Hi, hopefully this isn't another brainfart :/ My windows seems to "hang" so to speak when it's at the part where the blue progress bar runs accross the screen. It stays there for at least a minute then when I do get to log in, it hangs for a bit at that screen too. It's happened on 3 fresh installs now (don't ask). It does this overclocked at 2.5 ghz (250x10 , 9/10 divider) and at optimal settings in the bios. What could be going on? I don't have any software except windows updates and drivers, especially nothing at start up. Any advice is appreciated (sorry if it's another stupid thread :/) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amond Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 It is my understanding that windows should NOT be installed on an overclocked system and I guess I don't understand how you are overclocked AND running on optimized defaults(if that is the case) anyway,try CMOS clear,load optimized defaults,instal windows,THEN set it up to your overclock.Hope this helps.

RyanG Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 I should of explained better. I never installed windows xp on an overclocked setup. It was strictly default - nothing was changed other than the boot order so it would recognize the xp cd in the drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amond Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Might be your power supply.after you set your rig up and booted for the first time did you load your optized defaults? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanG Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Yes sir. This powersupply is on the reccommended list so if it is that I'd be extremely upset. I've checked the rails - they all seemed fine to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amond Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 which sata ports are you using?R U using RAID?did you install windows on a RAID array? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanG Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 SATA 1. No raid, just one serial ata hard drive installed. No, I did not install windows on a RAID array. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
amond Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 R U using the cables supplied with the MB or different ones?U may try turning your system off then unplugging that HD and plugging it back in and makes sure the cables are secure.I misread your sig I though I saw 3 hard drives,MY bad! anyway I ran into a problem similar to this a few years back as I was using a bad copy of windows,maybe you could try a different disk.or better yet,I should ask which version of windows you are installing,if it is Vista,well,then there is your problem.

RyanG Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Haha, no it's not vista. It's XP Pro with SP2 integrated. I got it from MSDN awhile back. I can make another image and try it out tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanG Posted September 21, 2006 Posted September 21, 2006 Okay, I don't know where my reply went but I downloaded a new image file, burned it and installed without a hitch. Still receive slow boot. Would flashing the bio's do anything? Currently they are the ones that shipped with the board, I think july 2005 or something but not sure. Any advice apprecaited, thanks!
