Startup problem

PC will only run in Safe Mode. I Can't locate the Bootlog but I've checked
the Event Viewer and two errors of note are as follows:

AMDK8 and FIPS failed to start

DCOM got error "This service cannot be started in safe mode" attempting to
start the service with arguments "" in order to run the server.

I'm running WinXP SP. 2
Asus K8V SE Deluxe AMD Athlon 64 board

Any help would be most greatly appreciated.

SAFEBOOT is unchecked. The following is edited from the ntbtlog.txt. The
drivers that did not load are repeated a hundred times or more save for the

Wesley,

Unable to get pc to go into Safe Mode. At startup, it
gives me the option to go into regular safe mode or with
networking or command prompt. Irregardless of selection,
it starts to load various drivers and freezes at
ivicd.sys. Man, this pc is just over a month old and I
just don't understand how my drive could lock up like this.

You may have to do a repair from the install CD, check with system
vendor for method of doing "nondestructive" repair install.

Perry,

I'm having the same problem with my PC and the configuration is as follows:
- AMD Athlon 64X 2200
- ASUS motherboard
- 7800GT video card

It freezes at ivicd.sys.

I've tried to install using a Win-XP Prof CD but it freezes at "Starting Windows..." on a blue screen.

I'm asking this this posting was from 2004 december and I hope you would have got some solution with your PC.

Please help me in this regard, I'm really stuck up with this machine.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Prahlad.

Hello prhld,

I'm having the same problem as you by the sounds of it. In a failed
safe mode boot I reach *ivicd.sys* and get no further.
My PC comprises of the ASUS A8N SLI Deluxe, AMD 64x 4200 and this all
began when I swapped my ATI x600 for a XFX 7600GT. When I tried to
boot it would hang on the loading splash screen. I swapped the card
back to the ATI x600 but it still wouldn't boot. I tried various
system check points but none fixed the problem. I was able to boot
into Safe mode without fail so I tried removing software, drivers I
though may have corrupted or something... nothing. Sometime later I
lost the ability to boot into safe mode but here I could see where it
stopped *ivicd.sys*. Whether that is significant I don't know.

The weird thing is, I reinstalled XP cos my files are on another
partition so it wasn't such a big deal. It got going fine, I put SP2
on restarted then installed all the main drivers and on the next
restart I got the same prob!

I'm now concerened this may be hardware... my pc is only 6mnths old.

Please let me know if u find anything out. I have more tests do do and
will do likewise.

Lee

Hope you got this issue resolved.

I recently had this problem - the system would boot fine up to
ivicd.sys, then black screen and restart. Safe mode wouldn't work at
all, so I ended up booting to the CD, getting to the repair console,
navigating to c:\windows\windows32\drivers\ and renamed the file
ivicd.sys to ivicd.sys.old. I rebooted, went in to safe mode,
uninstalled the Intervideo suite (I never used it), booted up again and
I was good to go.

FWIW, I'm running XP Media Center Edition and had installed the WinDVD
Suite, which included Photo Album 1.0, DVD Copy 2.5, WinDVD Creator 2
and Disc Master 2.5.

What problem? You haven't quoted the message to which you reply so it's out
of context. Best not to post a new question as an add on to a previous
thread, called hijacking. Create a new post.
