Hi guys, in a last ditch effort, ive managed to get a new psu at 400w, connected all the board up, and get to the bios.
But, all i get after that is a black screen and says "windows detected a hard ware change etc." select from safe mode, normal boot, boot from the last known good boot" and whatever i select, i get a little blue screen of death flicker for a milli-second and it goes round the loop again! Some people are telling me i cant just expect my hard disk with windows xp on it to just boot up and run-and tell me i need a re format. All the people i know tho, have put there board in and carried on as usual.
This is my last chance i guess, before i either go to a computer shop and ask for help and part with cash i dont have, or just send the board back and revert to my old crappy set up.
If anyone can shed any light on this, i owe you about 10 cyber pints. Otherwise, its time to get the sledge hammer out.
Cheers,
Kev
