Hi, I am building my first PC and having some issues getting it to work.
Hardware is:
Asrock 775 eSATA motherboard
Geforce7300 graphics
Celeron 2.8ghz CPU
2 x 512 ddr2 ram
Western SATA 160GB HDD taken from my other PC (has XP on it)
At first, it would get to the XP startup screen, then crash to a blue screen.
I tried again, reinstalled XP from the CD, and now it won't even get to the startup screen - it gets as first as the first black screen (is this POST?? apologies, bit new at this) that tells me how much memory I have, etc., then reboots. It will do this over and over until I turn it off.
Any ideas what to try next?
thanks
