WinXP only can enter safe mode, can it be hardware issue?

All the more to suspect DEP.. Which is why I didn't mention about it, just said otherwise.... DEP for AMD is in the processor so cannot disable from BIOS, Intel's DEP is implemented by the BIOS and slows down the PC quite a bit. I am an AMD supporter. After you boot up properly, then go and find out what is the program which is not written with best practice and disable it. Otherwise you'll have to permanently disable DEP which is compromising security.
It's difficult to isolate this kind or problem, maybe you can try this....Reset your bios to factory default, I suspect you might accidentally overclock your memory :think: A more drastic way is to increase the voltage of your memory bit by bit but don't try it if you are not so sure what is this, it will fry your chip :sweat:
If not, try clean install the OS once more...it could be jut the driver issue :sweat:

i went into the bios and hunt around.
found this part and it is already 2T, i change the timing mode into manual and it shows
timing mode manual
memclock index value 200mhz
cas# latency (tcl) 2.5
min ras# active time (tras) auto
ras# to cas# delay (trcd) auto
row percentage time (trp) auto
bottom of 32 bit {31:24} IO E0
1T/2T memory timing 2T
S/W memory hole remapping disabled
also i change high performance mode to optimised
cool n quiet to auto
boot to os/2 yes
hard disk smart enabled
but did not find the CPC to off.
and i look carefully and sees that my old kingston has things on 2 sides, likely a double side ram. whereas the new corsair ones are 1 sides, so i think they are single side ram. maybe that is the problem. double side or single side better, if i'm to keep only a pair?
Don't change the timing to manual mode unless you know what to set. Leave it to auto.
High performance mode should not be set to optimise as it might be pushing the specification to the limit.
Leave the boot to OS/2 to NO. You only need set to YES if you are running IBM OS/2.
Sound like a compatibility issue. If you want to keep a pair, keep the single side one.
Have you try to put your Corsair RAM first?
Eh, I thought you said ur ram is DDR333? How come the "memclock index value" is 200mhz? Should be 166mhz (assuming this is the actual clock not the dual rate clock).
yes, i did, by having corsair in 1st and 3rd slot (green). then do the 2nd pair. by putting in the recommended mode of C, K, C, K or K, C, K, C either way (in the green, blue, green, blue slots), the system keep recognising 1GB only.
after doing the above BIOS amendments, i switch to K, K, C, C and try to see if it works, so far still trying (now on desktop, wait until failure).
there seems to be occasional difficulty in picking up power of usb devices, has that got anything to do with ram and mobo?
and although i change to manual for timing, i did not alter any of the values, wonder if it is al'rite to leave it that way?
i pull out the ram, and got many values on it. i think they are all 333.
as on sticker
kingston kvr333x64c25/512
corsair vs512mb333
Err.. then u better manually set correctly in ur timings cos the current setting of 200mhz is definitely wrong.
You should be trying C C K K or K K C C (green, blue, green, blue). This is the configuration for dual channel.
Your power supply might also be the cause of your problem. What brand of power supply are you using?
Next time try C, C, K, K.
I think you need to replace your power supply with a better one.
I had the same power supply and cause me quite some problem especially my hard disk (2 x 160GB Seagate). Hard disk keep spinning up and down. Thinking the hard disk has problem, RMA both. Got back 2 reworked hard disk and problem still exist. After I replaced my icute power supply with a Antec Truepower 430W, everything work fine till now.
You configuration has 1 more hard disk than mine. Maybe you might want to consider replacing your power supply too.
I dont know if this helps.. but i had a similar problem once.. What happened was, my HDD had a bad sector and i found that out after testing it with another pc.. So i replaced my HDD, transfer most recoverable data from my old HDD to my new one and its working great again.. From your config, u have 3 HDD, you might wanna try switching one over to slave and boot from a new master HDD.. That is, if your slave has a OS installed in the first place (not very common).. If your HDD is brand new, i guess its a software problem.. i dont see anything wrong with your hardwares.. Hope this helps..
mine is a 36GB 10k western digital raptor that is the primary OS HDD while the other one 320GB is a 7.2k western digital HDD that works as storage. i'm running out of space and backup space hence got the new 500GB 7.2k hitachi.
is there a way to check the integrity 36GB HDD through windows without changing it into a slave and having to reinstall everything?
Try setting your memory to run at 333MHz, 3-3-3-8 at 2.6v.
If it's already at 3-3-3-8 then change it to 2.5-3-3-8. Up the voltage slightly to 2.6v. It might help.
Keep the Command Rate at 2T.
This shouldn't be a motherboard problem because the memory controller is on the CPU, not the chipset.
I think you are wrong. The memory controller is on one of the chipset on the motherboard. The chipset hold the northbridge and southbridge. Northbridge communicates with the computer processor and controls interaction with memory, the Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus, Level 2 cache, and all Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) activities. Southbridge handles the input/output (I/O) functions of the chipset.
i can't find these set of numbers in bios. as for the voltage, whenever i wanted to choose a figure from 2.6 and onwards, the warning sign appears. in the end, i left it at auto.
