Bought a new PC a few days ago. C2Q 6600, 250gb WD HDD, 2 gbs ram, CD drive, gigabyte mobo etc.
Built it without any problems but then couldnt install vista, kept getting boot disk fail, please insert system disc. Had a fiddle around & found that by taking 1 stick of ram out & putting the other stick in a different ram slot it would get past this error. After a few hours of worry i was relieved it had finally worked, until it stopped.
Now windows has loaded the files(black screen, white bar goes accross), then it went to a 2nd loading screen, where a series of green bars went accross(much like the XP loading screen, where it was blue & below the Xp logo), but now it has just stopped.
Iv reached a colourfull screen, with different colours fading into each other & my mouse icon is on it, but nothing else. Nothing has popped up, nothing seems 2 be loading & after 20mins of just staring at it iv lost hope of it changing.
Has anyone else had this problem? Or anyone else got some advice on getting around it?
cheers guys
