Re: [SLE] HELP (again :-/) ?hardware err???
I disabled both L1 and L2 cache from the bios, and I switched dimms out :-( No dice. It core dumps on booting NT. Sudden hardware failure?? I'm really disappointed- it's a nice board (Dual PII w/ onboard ultra wide scsi and 100bt enet) and I doubt I can find a replacement for a reasonable price. Thx- -mab On Sun, 5 Mar 2000, Dennis Soper wrote:

I had the same thing happen on a box of mine. Worked fine, then wouldn't boot NT or Linux, but 95 worked. Turned out to be bad cache RAM. If NT boots, the first thing I'd look at is the floppy disk- - they don't make 'em like they used to....

Unfortunately, it does look that way :( Do you have some spare bits and pieces that you can swap in? Take the machine right down to bare minimum (graphics, floppy, mobo, ram, nothing else and see if the floppy will boot. If not, you've narrowed it down and can start swapping out components. If it does boot, add things until it stops. Bear in mind that it could be a comibnation of things that stops it booting... There's really only the option of looking closely at your hardware. I would have said check the memory first, but you said you've already done that...
