If you email me please title Comp problem. Heres my deal, I have a KT7A Raid board and a 30 GB WD drive and am trying desperately to load Windows ME. The system is new and has never had an OS. Problem is this. She freezes EVERY TIME on windows boot, it gets to the desktop, and the entire system freezes I have to use master ower to turn it off. she runs in safe mode. PLEASE HELP I am desperate I have been working on this for 3 weeks!!!

is the bios set correctly? could be a conflict somewhere. boot into safe mode and go to control panel, system, device manager and check everything for irq conflicts.

Had the same problem. Updated my graphics card drivers and my VIA 4 in 1 drivers and the problem was solved.

Hi Jason: Boy I'd have a ton of questions here and it would help immensely if you gave us a better rundown on the system. If it will boot in safe mode, that tells you something right there. Something in the ini files is causing the problem, probably a device driver. The first thing you need to do is isolate the piece of hardware that is causing the problem for you. The best way to do that is get back to basics. In any event, my suggestion is that you remove all of the PCI cards, and ISA (if you have any) cards in your system. Unplug any CDROM's and plug the hard drive into the primary IDE connector . . . not the ATA 100 connector. I'm assuming that your graphics card is AGP here. See if the computer will boot with nothing but a video card and 1 stick of RAM only. No external devices either, no printers, no USB devices, just the mouse and keyboard plugged into it. See if it will boot that way. If it does not, then you have narrowed your problem down to mainboard, processor, video or RAM. If it does boot, then start installing components 1 by 1 and rebooting after each component until your computer freezes again. Then you know where the problem is. Take care and be safe, -TimeRider

Hers my two dollar piece of advice, try updating your video drivers.

famous words of wierd al! its all about da pentium baby!

I had the same problem with my newest custombuilt computer. Boot into Safe mode - right click on the desktop- click on properties- then to settings then advanced - go to the adapter tab and look down at the refresh rate - make sure that it is set to the adapter default then reboot. After you get into Windows, update your video card drivers if they are not up to date. I have had this problem with quite a few videocards/motherboards. All the other posts will help if mine doesn't resolve your issue. phrost
