Hello!
I have a p4p8x motherboard,
http://www.asus.com/products/mb/sock...x/overview.htm
I have the p4p800 bios installed and it works great!
http://www.digital-daily.com/motherb...up/index08.htm
with a cellery 2.4 ghz and 512 dual ddr memory.
I have simply repair installed WindowsXP to allow myself the opportunity to continue some important work before I do a format and clean install.
I keep getting a hal.dll corrupt message after a few reboots. (usually after installing service pack 1)
Do you think my hd is going out to lunch? ( I record lots of HDTV with my sat card)
Do you think the memory may be bad? its 3200
The CPU is running at only 400mhz fsb.
I am going to install a p4 2.6ghz 800ht shortly.
Do you think windows is just playing with me because of the updated system?
I updated my os many times before with different systems and this is the first time I am getting this error consistantly.
Once every day or 2.
Also sometimes if I keep rebooting it will finally load the os without error.....
I also saw an error reading from disk message on a couple of boots
It's an 80gig maxtor thats loaded and smartdrive says it is working fine.
any suggestions?
thanks

thanks efc!
great work
some tastey information there....
so do you think it is memory that is corrupt or my compter or hard drive?
I need to think this one through.
An easy fix for this error is entering the recovery console and typing
bootcfg /rebuild
I will need to try this when i get home from work.
My computer is dead with this error....
I need to back up my computer and format and see if I still get these errors.
This is a real nice motherboard for the price

$96cdn celeron 2.4ghz
$98cdn for 2 sticks of 256 dual ddr ram
I'm not even going to guess about your HAL problem. I've never run into it before.
When you fix it, please tell the rest of us how you did it.

Is your memory voltage at 2.65-2.75? RAM timings by SPD?
If it's memory related you should run memtest86Originally Posted by egghead
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: Windows\System32\Hal.dll

Thanks Reverend
the bootcfg/rebuild
and the /fastdetect for the last question allowed me to boot up fine.
The memory is set on auto Conan.
I did have errors installing xp deleteing current installation option but i think i will narrow it down tonight
i will keep you updated.
I think the HDTV recording could be killing my hard drive
but i will try memtest
tonihgt and a few other things
thanks guys as always
