Help - IDE HDD Problems
Posted: Mon Dec 16, 2002 5:07 pm
Hey all -
I have the PC Chips M805LR motherboard (Socket A, 950mhz AMD Duron).
Anyways - When i boot the system, the BIOS runs through its self tests then gives me a checksum error.
On top of the checksum error, the hard drive will not even turn on!
I know my PS is good and the HD is good (its only 4gb so no update should be needed to the bios i would imagine). When my computer is ON, my harddrive is off but once i pull the IDE cable out of the HDD the HDD turns on! I dont really understand whats goin on here. One more time, I boot the comp, checksum error, and my HDD wont turn on unless i pull the IDE cable out of it. Is my IDE messed up past the stage of being fixed?? Any input would be appreciated.
thanks
