Solve : starting windows fresh? |
|
Answer» Well, I got this system error, isass.exe, for overclocking my computer too much.. I had to put a boot disk in and re install the hardrive and stuff, so I did. Now, after doing that I need to reinstall windows. I have the CD and all set but the PROBLEM is when I get to this screen Well, I got this system error, isass.exe, for overclocking my computer too much Illogical. It has most likely been caused by a virus. I suggest you reformat the Hard Disk Drive before attempting to install Windows XP. You can best do so by creating a boot diskette if Windows XP setup does not function well.But it couldn't possibly been a virus at all. Here's the thing, I just bought the computer, only had it for 3 days or so, the only things i've installed are games, that's about it. This error came after I overclocked my settings. My buddy tells me that isass.exe is a security thing or something and that it did this because it didn't allow me to oc from factory form that much. I already used the bootdisk, formatted, did the partition stuff, this is the last step, but my numlock is off on that screen.If you believe your settings are overclock related, you should reset the BIOS to default factory settings. This may help resolve your issue. I believe this is the file name you are referring to. It is, as far as I know, in no way related to overclocking.Well I don't understand how I could have gotten a virus....... I have eZ antivirus on that computer. I already reset the settings, and the cmos battery.The anti virus scanner may have been malfunctioning. However, heat related errors could be the cause as well. It could be that you have damaged the CPU or other computer peripherals by overclocking. Have you tried using a different keyboard?I may have because when I turned it on right after the over clock its fan was louder than usual, but it cooled down and it sounds normal now. But that couldn't be it I mean everything that I was able to do was fine I just can't get to install this thing.. I have a windowsxp pro that I should actually think of trying... I was thinking of using another keyboard, i'll try it now as a matter of fact. edit:okay the keyboard wasn't the problem ; - /Your keyboard ceases to function as soon as you press a button, correct? Try both an USB and PS/2 keyboard.Nope on the bottom when it says Starting windows, after loading all the setup files, it goes off and I can't toggle it back on or anything. Great now I'm screwed for real, I was pushing in the hardrive cords in tothe hardrive and I moved some wire and the pc just shut off and won't TURN on, i'm so DEAD. I just got this computer and I already broke it like a retard, damnitYou should not push or pull any type of non-hot swappable cable when the computer is turned on. I suggest you read the warranty license and see what your options are. |
