ok, i read the stuff on what to do if it doesnt boot up. but mine loads windows then goes blank just when it should show the desktop, though the computer itself is still on, and it isn't the monitor because ive tried it with 2 different ones.
i just put in a floppy drive (there wasn't one before), so this is obviously the reason, but is it because the drive installation itself, do i have to change something in the bios? or is it because ive damaged something? though i dont see how, i kept touching the radiator every 5 minutes to get rid of static and i hardly even touched anything.
and another thing is, the power cable for the floppy, there wasn't one comming straight from the psu, only one comming from the hard drive. does that matter?
spec-
win xp os
p4 2.6 cpu
asus p4p800 motherboard
cant remember the rest
