Intel server MB

After sucsessful installation old win OS on workable server the very next day BIOS was gone (black screen) and no beeps at all. Then jumping J2J1 to recovery boot (10-11)-no results, only 4-3-4-3 short beeps began sound. All are disconnected but CPUs,memory and keyboard. Upper CPU is warm always (of any two),and the down CPU is always cold (of any two). Floppy is inoprative (MB-?),workable itself. So any hope for renessance or MB is dead? thanks stanislav

Find out which BIOS is installed (websearch on server model) then search for Bios Beep Codes for that BIOS. Check what 4-3 4-3 means, you may find it is something simple. If you can get floppy working you may be able to flash BIOS but again you need to know which one

what size HDD in the set (over 2TB?) each.

install w10 was told but most old PC DO NOT SUPPORT W10 at all. No PC told yet not one clue.

"nvlddmkm.sys"
this is a failing windows NVIDIA VIDEO CARD DRIVER. no video chip told or video card told.

was this PC window 7 before and are attempting w10 install.
did you buy this secret PC form others and now it fails trying to put on w10>>

best it put a SSD in this PC,if PC secret is not too old
and install w10 to the SSD and not the RAID
then when W10 is running good rebuild the RAID, last.
then if RAID fails the SSD keeps booting and RAID is vastly more easy to maintain.

NO PC told and help beyond this point is going to be weak.
need to know all hardware there. PC and all cards inside, or help will be weak or generic. ,like mine

Intel DESKTOP BOARD D945GPB-Win XP Home Edition OS. All web searches keep crossref. all other boards D945G* or D945G**. No mention of D945GPB anywhere on net or Intel Site.

Boot up computer from being off and press pause key right top hand side of keyboard when the bios number comes up on the screen. Pause boot up and read the bios number that is displayed during the P.O.S.T sequence of your Bios start up.
Then try googling the Bios number to get the exact motherboard involved.


Good luck !

3 long beep

The Intel motherboard D845GLVA can only run up to 2GB of 184-pin, 2.5 V, DDR266/200 MHz SDRAM. Test the system by inserting only one stick of memory into slot 1 which is closest to the CPU. Boot system & listen for beep code. If no change remove memory & insert into slot 2 & boot system. Listen for beep code. The Intel D845GLVA MB uses the AMI bios. There is no code to match your 3 long beeps.
Click on the link below, scroll down to AMI;
http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm

However, you mentioned you loose display when you here the 3 beeps. This is common when a video card is not connected correctly or does not have enough power. Since your MB uses a built-in video card it is very possible that the video controller,
Intel 82845GL Graphics and Memory Controller is going. You can test this theory by buying a PCI video card & installing it into any one of the three PCI slots on the MB. You will not need to enter the MB bios to make any changes. The MB will auto detect the video in the PCI slot & use it over the built -in video. See page 15 in your manual: PCI Auto Configuration.
If you need the manual for your MB you can download it from Intel.
Click on the link;

Any one of the video cards listed on the next link will run in your system;

Windows won't see all of my 4GB of RAM but BIOS does! Why?

Windows xp will usually only see 3.5 gbs of ram even in your motherboard can support more. WIndowns vista does recognize more RAM or i also believe windows xp 64bit recognizes more ram. Nothing wrong with ram or your computer its just your operating system.

Large hard drive

Yes it will. Mostly it is the operating system that will allow the drive to be see at its full size. Suggest you use Win XP home with at least SP1 but Win XP Pro with SP2 is faster & very stable. Also suggest you set the drive up with the Mfg's disk utilites. Bootable floppy or bootable CD. If using plain XP home you can still install the OS & than download a free trial of Partition magic which will allow you to combine any smaller partitions to get you up to you 250GB size. (only if you have a problem though.
