Hello everyone; I have just joined this forum looking for advice.
I have to milling machines running what is now legacy hardware and software. Siemens still services my machine but only in exchange for Gold bars. Since this machine is windows based I thought I would take a stab at it. One week ago machine halted on checksum error set date and time. I reset and moved on. Cmos battery good. Will not boot. Will not take NT4.0 set up disk halts on OS loader with Blue back horizontal screen. Remove hard drive test in NT4.0 machine boots fine. Add sos switch to boot.ini change Attrib and re install. Setup disk gets to config.sys in Executive and hangs with blue/black hor screen. This is an Intel ADV/RF Lpx form factor with a bridge board in riser and a RT board for machine control. I pulled WS board (intel RH) and put on bench to test isolated from other hardware for no conflict. Same thing will boot to halt in OS loader or setup disk.
Replaced memory re seated processor, cleared cmos, same thing. On a whim I put in a clean Win98 HDD and boots fine. Stressed memory and processor, socket 7 pent 233 mmx , fine. So will boot, setup, load win98 but will not boot,load,setup winNT 4.0. Tried Ctrl F1 to enter extended Bios util to no avail. Anyone know how to access hidden Bios setup? AMI bios 1.00.13.CV2 Intel board.
