after smoking an older mobo, we went and bought an Intel d865PERL mobo. After hooking everything up, with newly formatted new Seagate HD (which worked just fine before old mobo smoked), new Kingston 2700 512m RAM, everthing started booting up, got past the win2k start progress bar, then the first windows flash screen then......blue screen saying "If this is the first time you are seeing this message then restart the computer blah blah......if it isn't then remove HD and make sure the configuration is correct BLAH BLAH and so on...."
then I restarted and still the same message......what should I do? the last time this happened with another computer it seemed to work itself out after a couple restarts....not this time......now what?
