Never stops giving grief I guess, anyhoo...the story goes like this
Wll after the upgrading my old graphic card and PSU, I hadn't put the case on because of fan orientation and somehow a 10p got into the thing, fried my motherboard, thank goodness my 6800GT is ok (just always have to plug I have one...see?)
Well anyways, I got a new motherboard k7n2 Delta and a new 2800+ xp w/ new heatsink. Got everything installed last night, used the same PSU (it was some fancy one that can trip out and stuff with no bother) and it shows a boot menu with options like last configuration that was good, safe mode, windows config and normal.
None of these work, as the screen flickers a blue screen and restarts too quickly to see whats on it when an option is chosen.
Searching forums elsewhere said that after a new mother board installation windows gets picky because parts of it are actually stored on the motherboard (had never heard of this) and a repair should do the job. Problem there though too: stick in my recovery disc, hit F8, boot from CD and it cuts out =/
any ideas?? there's a cookie in it for yas...
