Both Machines were stuck in a file access loop crash after 3 days of steady use. Hit ok send it, explorer crash and do it all over again, hit dont
send, explorer crash and all over again. Attempted repair installs on both and same problem upon boot.
I use both these rigs religiously so an unstable platform to play with just aint do able at the present moment. I have ghost images of both machines
at pristine condition so reload took all of 10mins to be back up and runnin. I just got my MCE machine back up and runnin also. so now i have another
box that isnt crucial and i will have more time to load it and tweak it and play with it without sweatin losing work time.
I also build all my own pc's and have for bout 20yrs. Its also my current income
so its not a hardware thing. Im leaning heavily towards driver
corruption.
The spare box has onboard nvidia vid, sound and nforce chipset with an amd x64 processor so we will see how that runs it driver-wise.
I lost alotta my hardware (amongst dam near everything else) in an apartment fire a few months ago
, so im slowly rebuilding the bank of
processing power...
