SLOW COMPUTER AND CD-ROM WON"T WORK
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2003 7:20 am
I have a PI 686 with a Award Modular Bios v4.51 PG 10/18/96-i430VX-10031996C-00 and a Intel Triton 430VX rev2 chipset. My problem is that before I installed my CD-RW my Creative Cd-rom 24X mx was working perfectly. When I installed the CD-RW the CD-ROM quit..so I uninstalled the CD-RW.....When I uninstalled it, the CD-ROM drive still didn't work...I've tried everything to get it working again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still doesn't wanna work. I've noticed that the device manager say that This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31). But Windows automatically loads the drivers in Windows 2000...I've tried to load the drivers from the disc but the disc has programs for windows 95. I installed them anyways but Windows 2000 won't use them....HELP!!!
What am I doing wrong?
Another problem i'm having is that the computer slowed down....it's supposed to have a 512 cache.....the computer seems to make grinding sounds as it processes requests and it evenually gets it done....It never used to be this slow....
How can I fix this? Bios upgrade????
