When I boot my pc, after it checks dmi pool data a stickman with no legs comes up and nothing else.
I have a soyo k7vta board with 1gig proc.
526 meg 133 pcdram.
radeon 7500 video card.
tdk 40 cd burner.
100 gig wd hard drive.
running xp.

I have a feeling that it is my proc, but I dont have a spare to check it with.



Any help would be appreciated.

Any beeps? Did you do anything to the PC before this symptoms started?

Has something in the BIOS changed?

Can you start with the BootDisk?

I get no unusual beeps.

I have not changed any hardware, software, drivers, or any bios changes.

I just turned on the pc and nothing happened.

It is the harddisk, whether it is the harddisk itself or XP causing the failure, because I tried the harddrive in another pc.

I have no boot disk for xp.

I downloaded the bootdisk program from microsoft and made bootable disks, but when I try to run 1st disk I get a I/O error reading disk.


Any suggestions?

:confused: :(

If you can get to the BIOS, try setting it to Defaults.

If you boot and still can't read the floppy drive I'd say it's the mobo.

I reformatted the harddrive on another pc, put it back in my pc and reloaded xp with no problems.


Thanks for all the help.
