Computer Wont Boot - Red Hdd Led
Replies: 9 | Post Date: June 28th 2005 | User: Switchblade920 | Forums: devhardware.comRecently i got a 1. 00ghz celeron (coppermine, 100x10) from a friend for free. I was planning to use it in an older computer of mine, a system with a celeron 433 (mendocino, 66x6. 5). I removed the heatsink, installed the processor, applied thermal grease, replaced the heatsink, closed the system up but when i tried to boot it up, but all i get is the red hdd led, instead of the green "power" led and (older) "turbo" led which both is supposed to be on. The motherboard i tried it on is an asus mew-aml which is supposed to support processors on the 100mhz fsb. I remembered to change the jumpers (because it will only run at 66mhz if i dont). After it refused to boot, i reinstalled the original processor, but i ended up with the same problem. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? I need to know if my motherboard is fried.

Seagate Barracuda Hdd Led Is Always Red
Recently my computer often stops functioning while i was operating, and the hd led is always red , it does not flicker. After i pressed reset , the hd led is still red until loading windows. Sometimes, windows cannot even be loaded, and the led is still red. But some other time, it's ok again, i guess there might have been some serious problem with my hd , since i've already tried the disk tools in windows. I'd appreciated it very much if you could give me a hand with this. My hd is seagate barracuda 7200 rpm , 80gb

Red Led Which Represents Hard Disk Usage Stops Blinking
All of a sudden the red led which represents hardisk usage stops blinking once it gets past the mother board display and etc (you know at the start where it says bla bla is slave drive and etc. ) So even in dos it doesnt light up. Why would this be.

Computer Wont Boot Hdd
I am working with two computers. My friend's is an emachine d4362 (basic specs: p4 3. 0 ghz processor, 3. 2 gigs of ram)
And mine is a soyo dragon. (Basic specs: p4 3. 0 ghz processor, 1 gig of ram)
The emachine had windows xp installed on its hard drive (ide hard drive) and it ran perfectly fine. We wanted to install windows 7 on it, so we put in the disk. It always froze at 16%. So we put the hard drive into my computer, and loaded ran the installer. It again froze at 16%. Another method i had learned of was to install from a usb drive. I did that, but his computer wouldn't boot from usb. Mine, however, did. So we put the emachine's hard drive into my computer, and booted from usb. We successfully installed windows 7. Here is the interesting part. On my computer (the dragon) windows will boot normally, and go to the windows 7 desktop without a problem. When we moved the hard drive back into his computer (the emachine) before it even gets to the "starting windows" logo, the computer automatically restarts. So the moment the hard drive is being accessed it just shuts off and tries booting again. I dont understand. Why will it work on my computer and not his? (Remember, this hard drive was originally in his computer to begin with, we only switched it over because his computer wouldnt boot from usb)

Linux - How To Flash The Hdd Usage Led ?
Assuming that a hdd in my linux software raid array goes bad (r-5), i am thinking that the easiest way to figure out which drive is /dev/sdx would be to flash the usage led. Does anyone know how to do this?

Computer Just Shuts Off And Green Led Starts To Blink
Ive built a computer with an athlon64 3200 processor, everything works perfectly however from time to time the computer just shuts off all of the sudden and the green led starts to blink, i have to unplug the power cable for about 10 seconds from the bank of the computer and then i can start the computer again. My power supply is an antec 350w i believe.

Hdd Clicking On Boot Up
A older maxtor hdd (model 54098h8) makes the dreaded 'western digital' like "clicking" noise on boot up. The mb doesn't see the drive. It was ok, but started to 'act up' and then went dead. Is this drive toast?

Hdd Wont Boot From Disc
Summary of the rambling below:
1. Old hard drive failed, tried to replace it. 2. When i turn on the comp it shows cd rom on primary slave, and hard drive on secondary slave. Is this a problem or wrong?
3. The jumper on the cd rom is set to cable select. 4. Boot sequence in bios is set up to start from cdrom then c. 5.comp won't boot from disc, never gives option "push any key to boot from disc"
I have used this disc to install xp on my other comp and worked fine. And when i unplug the power from the hard drive, it gives the option boot from disc and goes into windows set up. The manager who i bought the hard drive from suggested maybe my cd rom isn't compatible with this newer hard drive?
Rambling begins: hello a couple days ago my hard drive failed in my old pentium 3 comp and yesterday i went out and bought a hard drive from a well known computer store. It's just a semi-used 40 gig hard drive, the manager working there told me he tested it just a day ago and that it had a fresh install of windows xp so he told me it was working. So today i tried installing it in my old pent 3, and it shows up when i start up the comp, it shows the cdrom on ide primary slave and shows the hard drive on ide secondary slave. Is there anything wrong with this? I was told that the hard drive has to be on it's own separate ide cable or at least on the "end" of the ide cable correct? Did i mess up already? The hard drive doesn't have a "key" on it for the correct jumper setting. So i just moved it 4 times until it finally showed up. And should the cd roms jumper be set to cable select, or master? Or slave? Right now it's on cable select and it's showing up as ide primary slave. Anyways, the windows xp disc is in the drive, and i have set it in the bios to boot from cdrom then c drive, but it never gives the option "push any key to boot from disc".

Cannot Boot With External Hdd After Restart
I just got a new external seagate free agent 500 gb. I installed it no problem, but if i try to restart the pc it won't boot up. It freezes at the bios stage, i think. If i unplug it again it boots up fine. Anybody have any idea? I'm running xp by the way.

Hdd Not Found On Boot = Disk Error
I recently received a western digital 160gb, as a replacement for a broken western digital 120gb, from western digital. However on boot the hdd is sometimes not found and instead a little clicking noise can be heard, which in turn leads to the primary slave not being found and then a disk error. Usually if i simply turn it off then back on again, then it works fine however sometimes i have to do this multiple times, sometimes i have to turn it off and leave it for a few minutes and sometimes i have to open the case and push all the cables into the back of the hdd and dvdrw a bit more. To me the cables don't feel as though they've come loose and so really this is an exercise of ritual rather than anything constructive, yet it seems to do the job. Once the hdd is recognised the pc works fine and dandy but i'd like to avoid this failure as it is happening more and more. Is this an issue with the cpu, data cables, power cables, hdd, dvdrw, ram?
My system is an asus pundit w/ intel 2. 8ghz, dual 512mb ram, western digital 160gb, sony 8x dvdrw.

Sony Vaio Laptop Won't Boot After New Hdd
I have a 3 year old vaio vgn a115b laptop. I needed more storage than 40 gb so i bought a new 100gb hdd at dabs. I undid all the screws on the base, removed the keyboard, undid the two screws under that and then took the chassis apart. I then swapped the hdd with the new one and re-assembled. When i power it on now i hear the cpu fan start up and after about a second a click and then the whole thing shots down. Then, after 2 seconds the fan comes on again but nothing else happens. I know this is a long shot but can anyone sugest what i may have done wrong?

Computer Is Trying To Format The Hdd
I removed a hd (samsung sp1604n, 160gb ide) from the old computer and now trying to put it in the new one, via a raid card. The computer says it need to be formatted. Even if i attached to the on-board ide channel it is the same deal. I have lot of data in it. How would i avoid this and get the computer to read the drive?
To make it worse, i do not have a backup. Btw, raid card and bios identify the drive. It is xp having problems with this.

Computer Can't Detect Hdd
I have a very weird problem, once i boot my computer the memory shows and all is ok, then it gets to the drive detection (hdds, cds etc. ) It writes the line "detecting ide drives. " And just gets stuck, i tried:
- Only plugging my dvd writer without my hdd - the computer detects it, all is ok and it keeps on booting. - Plugging nothing at all - the computer just writes:
Master - none
Sec. Master - none
Slave - none
Sec. Slave - none
And keeps on booting. - Changed the ide cable - didn't help. - Changed the ide port from the motherboard - didn't help. - Put a different hdd - didn't help. - Reset the bios, meaning, cleared the cmos by removing the battery, switching the jumper back and forth - didn't help. - The jumpers are ok (hdd is on 'master or single' and dvd is on 'slave')
I don't know what to do, maybe it has something to do with the bios? I don't know much about the bios. Does anyone have any tips? I really don't know what to do anymore.

Computer Cannot Detect Usb 2.0 External Hdd
My computer cannot detect my usb 2. 0 external hdd, it was working only a few minutes ago, then i removed it through "safely remove hardware" after that i realized i forgot something so i plugged it back on. The light of my external hdd is on, but my computer isn't responding, it isn't showing any signs of another hdd in "my computer" and also in the "safely remove hardware" thing. I tried in my other computer and it's the same. I've scanned through for viruses previously, and cleared 3 trojans. Shouldn't be of a problem tho. Is my newly bought external hdd faulty ? Or has my computer gone mad?
P/s i also got this common problem that my external hdd couldn't be read directly, i have to - rightclick - explore. I believe this is a common n00b mistake i have done to my hdd or something.

Esata Hdd Makes Computer Freeze Randomly
I have a problem when connecting my esata hdd to this motherboard (p5k mobo). Basically i'm using a samsung hdd with an enclosure and i connect it to the pc via a esata cable going to the esata input at the back of the comp. The problem is the computer keeps freezing for like 10-20 seconds randomly while the esata device is connected. If i switch the esata device off (via the enclosure's switch) it works fine. Is this a known issue for this mobo and e-sata?
Also there are so many drivers i cant find which one i need to update as i haven't updated the mobo since i got it like 3 years ago. My mobo is a p5k but on the manual it says p4s533-e.

Connect A Ide Hdd To Computer With Isa Slots
I am wondering if it is possible to connect a new ide hd to an older computer with old isa slots. The mobo is an at style, 33mhz 8-bit bus (i think). Is there anywhere you can buy an adapter for this? Or is it even possible to go from a fast modern hard drive to a ridiculously slow computer? And if so how?

Red Vertical Lines On Monitor
How can i find out whats wrong with my dell monitor? My dell 17' inch flat screen monitor has red vertical lines in the middle of my screen. I'm wondering if its a bad cable connection problem. After i boot-up the system up its not there, but within a few minutes the red lines appear. I've tried it with my other systems and the same thing happens. I purchases the monitor directly from dell in 2006w my dell dimension e310 system.could it be that the monitor is wore out, or could it be just a bad cable connection? The cable i have attached to the monitor came with the monitor. If i purchase another one of the same kind would that clear out the red lines on the monitor? Need answer asap before i throw this monitor away & purchase another one those red lines are driving me nuts!
Also which monitor would you recommend for a quad system windows 7?

After i boot-up the system up its not there, but within a few minutes the red lines appear. I've tried it with my other systems and the same thing happens. I purchases the monitor directly from dell in 2006w my dell dimension e310 system.could it be that the monitor is wore out, or could it be just a bad cable connection? The cable i have attached to the monitor came with the monitor. If i purchase another one of the same kind would that clear out the red lines on the monitor? Need answer asap before i throw this monitor away & purchase another one those red lines are driving me nuts!
Also which monitor would you recommend for a quad system windows 7?

Computer Take A While Before Boot Up Normally
I am using an epox motherboard right now. Recently, if i turn off my power supply for about 15 mins, and turn it on and restart the computer, it will give out the siren alert and no screen. Since my mobo has a led attached to show the process of initial preboot, i check the code, and it always stop when it doing memory checking. However, if i turn on the power supply, and leave it there for about 5 mins, then the computer will boot up fine. I check memory, cpu, hdd already, nothings wrong. I switched power supply too. Nothing 's wrong. I'm guessing it;s the mobo. Maybe it take a longer time to charge up before it has enough power to do the preboot.

Computer Boot
My brother has an dell inspiron 530, and it wont start up correctly. When i press the power button, the boot screen opens, a then, about 5-10 seconds later, a message will flash on the screen. "Ahci bios not installed". After that, the screen will turn black, with no mouse, and it will have a small horizontal line flashing in the top left corner. This will stay on the screen until i turn off the computer. I have already tried to set the hdd as the main boot device, but there was no luck there. Also, i reset the bios settings to default. No luck there, either. There were no recent hardware upgrades on this computer.

Computer Does Not Boot
I'm having a strange problem with my htpc that i just can't figure out. When i turn it on, all the fans are running and the power and hd lights are on. However i don't get a video signal and the hd light never turns off/blinks. I disconnected the hd and removed the video card, same result. The mainboard does not seem to advance past the "power up" stage. I removed the battery on the mainboard for a bit but that didn't help. I mean if the mainboard would have a problem, it should beep right?
I am running out of ideas. It's probably the mainboard, but how can i be sure?
Here's the hardware:
Asus p5b-e
Intel core 2 duo e4300
Corsair twin2x2048-5400c4
Samsung hd321kj, t166s, 7200rpm
Asus en8500gt silent/htd/256, pci-e
Nesteq na 4501, 450w
Netgear wg311t wireless pci-adapter 802. 11g
