Motherboard Issues
Monday, September 7, 2009 by kona0197 | Discussion: Personal Computing
Seems I have a problem here. I have a Biostar Tforce4 U motherboard. For some reason this board really does not play nice with the Nforce4 drivers. By that I mean if i try to burn a CD or DVD using Nero it will not work. The DVD Burner is on SATA. The hard drive is IDE. However if I switch back to regular Windows XP drivers than the disk will burn. Top that off with the system will reboot itself from time to time due to an error. The error has something to do with minidumping or something. I can't read it because it goes by to quick. All this and sometimes the machine will hang while booting. My options are thus:
- Reinstall XP for the hundredth time and deal with this all over again
- Quit using Nero
- Install Vista after buying a copy
- Just deal with it till I can get a better PC
The thing about all this is this machine is new. We newer than my old P4 setup.
Thoughts?

I would recommend going for the 90 trial of the RTM Version. Yrag's reply #28 has the link.

Thank you Phoon. After I get my burner working today I will look into it.

Turns out I have a friend who has the Windows 7 RC that he couldn't use because of his very old hardware. I'll run that for now. Should solve my issues. Thanks guys.
Live and learn I guess. I know I've been a pain to deal with.
