Hi all,
It seems something is dying on my computer, but I don't know what. I
recently lost a hard drive and replaced it with a Maxtor 5.2 GB. I
loaded Windows 95b, using Fat 32. Everything seemed fine for a while,
but for the last few days it has been freezing quite frequently, mainly
when I exit a program--not the same one each time. It will not soft
boot, and the only way I can recover is to turn the computer off.
When I boot up again, I get a message that because Windows was not
exited normally, I must run scan disk. That's okay, but the message
across the top of the screen is what I do not understand. It is:
0 7 1 8086 7010 IDE Controller 14
0 8 0 1023 9660 Display Controller 9
At first I was getting only the Display Controller information, now it
is both.
Once I run scan disk it boots into Windows 95 and runs normally until it
freezes again. Last night it froze 3 times and tonight once.
From reading earlier posts here, I wondered if the power supply was
going. But now I'm wondering if it a controller is going. Any clues?
I don't know what other kind of information I should post to help you
decipher.
Any help would be appreciated.
