Hi,
This is probably the only reasonable forum around so I am confident
I have a welll-running XP PRO system. Aside from normal Windows problems it really runs well.
Now I want to "get in the business" of working with DVDs and here is where I ran into big trouble.
I bought a Samsung SH-S182M Writer hung it on the SLAVE channel and powered up. The MASTER is a CD R/W device.I went downhill fast from there.
During the boot I got a Machine Check Exception X'9C'.
Since the reason for this was not clear I thought about my power supply.
I put in a 480W new supply - same thing
Just for fun I brought my old 1.2GHz PC out of the crypt and plugged the drive into the IDE channel and this booted clean. I can read CDs on it but after installing the Nero6 suite all I get when trying to run a DVD is "program is not correctly installed" in "ShowTime", an error I see in other forum input.
I was able to run Samsungs "Live Update" for the firmware.
So, back to the initial problem. Now that I know the drive is probably OK what is the problem on my other PC?
It is a KN8E Deluxe board, AMD 2800+CPU, 512MB RAM and Gainward + PNY graphic cards.
Nothing exotic.
I have seen some news on the web about "nVidia" chipset drivers causing problems. I did use the driver CD to install the nVidia set of drivers for the ASUS board. Could this be my problem?
Any tips appreciated.
