What is causing this? Hardware related?

My computer was functioning absolutely yesterday, but when I twisted it on today I acquired an error. It placed and then went to "DMA-1 Error System halted". I ensured all of the cables and reseated the RAM and the symptoms distorted. Now it acquired to the "Start System Normally", "Enter Windows Recovery", "Safe Mode", ect. No subject which choice I decide, it starts its task and then resumes the computer. It will obtain to the Windows loading screen and restart the computer. It will just go in a loop pending I shut it off. I can yet enter the bios and see the harddrive there. What is incorrect here? Is it a hardware subject? What can I attempt to resolve it?

Pentium D 925.
ECS PT890T-A.
2GB OCZ 800Mhz.
Vista Ultimate 32-bit.

Awful information guy, Your HDD is disappearing, acquire a new one rapidly and put it in and save your data.

Can anybody verify that this is the hard drive deteriorating? If it is, what can I act?

Have you attempted to run an upturn from the vista disk?

john marcson · 11-06-2009, 09:44 AM

The cause that I'm undecided to obtain a new hard drive is that I've been told that the difficulty may be the motherboard. My friend might be correct, but I'd akin to other people to either agree or oppose with this. I have tried the revival disc option, but it restarts after it starts to load.

Hmm from what I can inform it’s either the motherboard or a growth card error. Probable it’s the Northbridge on your motherboard deteriorating. Particularly since that MB has VIA chipsets. VIA is usually contemptible junk.

If you have attempted the revival dice as well then it is ur HDD, if you can discover better counsel it has to be soon, the more you delay the higher the jeopardy of losing your data on the HDD.

john marcson · 11-06-2009, 10:41 AM

DMA-1 error is motherboard linked, but I believe it appears akin to the hard drive has a difficulty. The only cards are a video and Ethernet. I haven't been equal to attempt the revival disc, because it never acquires that far. I would also welcome an elaborated answer from anort3.

Will my possibility of losing data actually augment with time when the computer is off? Can it stay until this weekend? I don't have something to save the data to immediately.

Not actually but the boot up series kills the HDD as if it is on the edge of disappearing. So awaiting we separate the trouble, don't employ that comp very much. Speaking of which, wouldn't a read/write series from the vista upturn disk hurt the HDD especially?

john marcson · 11-06-2009, 10:43 AM

Unluckily, it wasn't the network card. I'll untidiness with it more this weekend, but I'm going to purchase a contemptible PC tomorrow anyhow. I'll let you guys recognize if I have any luck.
