Ghost can't be used? All due to the existence of BUG

The reader's computer configuration used by Tianming is AMD Phenom X3 8450 processor, top star T-RS78G motherboard, integrated graphics, Kingston 1GB × 2 DDR2 800 memory, Western Digital 250GB hard drive, USB keyboard. Recently, he felt that the system was running a bit slow, so he planned to use the Ghost image to restore the system partition. How do you know that when he put the tool CD into the CD-ROM drive and restarted and run the Ghost software on the tool tray, he found that the Ghost software could not run normally? . Originally thought to be a problem with the disc, but the same is true after replacing another version of the tool disc.

Reason for the knife: As the size of the Windows operating system becomes more and more cumbersome, the operation is of course slower, at this time, heavy Loading is an effective solution. However, the traditional operating system installation method is time-consuming and laborious, and various types of drivers are also required. If you restore the system's Ghost software in a few minutes, you can save these troubles. However, this computer can not run Ghost, which will bring great inconvenience to users.

Figure 2: Ghost software is not working properly, who has it?

Grab Microscope: At first, I thought that the operating system was running slowly. He thought that the hard disk had bad sectors or other forms of damage, which affected the normal operation of Ghost. So, he used the disk detection software carefully. I checked it again, but I didn't find any bad sectors on the hard disk, and the performance of the disk read and write data was normal. It seems that the disk subsystem is no problem. Since the tool CD does not work, he downloaded a hard disk installation version of the DOS toolkit (including Ghost) to install, directly running Ghost from the hard disk, but the abnormal situation remains.

Will it be a problem with memory and motherboard compatibility? This situation is still relatively common, so he found an idle pirate ship XMS 512MB DDR2 675 memory to replace the original memory, and re-run Ghost once, but the problem remains, this abnormal situation and memory can be seen Compatibility is irrelevant. At this point, after counting the Ghost software version of the Tools CD and Hard Disk Toolkit, he has confirmed that no matter which version of the Ghost software is not working properly on this computer.

At this time, he accidentally sprinkled water on the keyboard. In order to avoid keyboard damage, he immediately unplugged the keyboard and replaced it with an idle PS/2 interface keyboard. In order to confirm that the computer really has The problem needs to be replaced, and I try Ghost again. How do I know that Ghost software will run normally? Can the keyboard also affect Ghost? This is amazing.

Finally, he went to the merchant of the purchase machine and finally got the answer. It turns out that there is a bug in the old BIOS of the top star T-RS78G motherboard used on his computer. The manifestation of this BUG is quite accidental. It is when the motherboard uses a three-core or quad-core processor and uses the USB interface. When the keyboard is used, Ghost will run abnormally. Finally, he updated the latest BIOS version 1.7 of this motherboard, successfully solved this problem, and used Ghost to recover the operating system, solving the problem of slow system operation.

★ Post-operative comment: It can be seen that in most cases, the BUG that appears in the running process of the motherboard is almost always due to the BIOS problem. The condition of the BUG "seizure" of this motherboard is obvious, that is The combination of a three-core or quad-core CPU with a USB keyboard will affect Ghost. To solve this problem, refresh the 1.7 version of the BIOS file. For those who are afraid of trouble and do not want to update the BIOS, directly replacing the previous PS/2 interface keyboard will solve the problem. Of course, the caveat is that the old BIOS of this motherboard can't use both USB interface and PS/2 interface at the same time, otherwise there will be a system error.
