Hi all. My system is an Asus M2NPV-VM. I have 4gb RAM, and 1 sata hd, 1 IDE hd, 1 SATA DVD and 1 IDE DVD.I came home today to see a BSOD on my comp. I didn't take note of what the error code was because it said to remove any new hardware and reboot.I tried that and Got an error saying the file could be corrupt because of a checksum error. I rebooted again to try to get into my recovery disk and when I booted that, I got error 0xc0000001.I then tried rebooting to only find a black screen. My BIOS do not even load. I have tried removing each piece of hardware one at a time and then booting. NothingAny help would be greatly appreciatedNOTE: It isn't a monitor problem because my keyboard numLock key won't work.

The sounds turn on and stay on. Nothing turns off even if I leave it run. I know it is not windows 7, but I couldn't find a topic for this. I thought maybe the code could give me a hint.If you could direct me to a more appropiate forum, that would be great

This can be caused by any number of hardware problems, including a bad power supply, bad memory module,mb failure, bad cmos battery, or even a loose screw in the computer. The last even happened to me once.To diagnose, it is often helpful to completely remove the motherboard from the case and set it on a piece of cardboard to insulate it. Plug in just one memory module, the power supply, keyboard and monitor (and graphics card if not using onboard video). Plug in the power supply cord and try turning it on by momentarily shorting the power pins for the front panel switch.If it works like that, try adding things one by one until you either find the problem or have the computer assembled again.If it doesn't work like, try a different memory module, different power supply, graphics card, keyboard, CPU, etc.Try the ASUS forums for more help.

Hello Danerd, According to your problem description, I suppose that it should be a video device driver related issue; please perform the following steps to narrow down the issue. Run Windows Low-resolution 1) Detach all unnecessary peripheral devices from your computer, such as printers, scanners and removable storage devices. 2) Restart the computer. 3) Keep pressing the F8 key until the Windows Startup menu appears. 4) Choose Enable Low-resolution video (640*480) option, and press Enter. 5) Then install the right display card driver compatible with Windows 7 in Windows Low-resolution mode. Note: In Low-resolution Mode, your system display and Desktop will look and perform differently than in Normal Mode. This is only temporary. You might go to Device Manager, right click your display device in the list and select Update Driver Software; then click Search automatically for updated driver software. Note: Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers. Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published; however, we cannot guarantee all drivers will work on all hardware platforms as there are too many different models, although their hardware ID are the same as the standard version. In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error. Meanwhile, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; you might wait or push the device manufacturer to upgrade its driver. Thanks for your time and understanding! Good Luck! Andy
