It has been a long time since I built my own and I am not sure why I cannot get my computer to work last night.
The bios setup set on auto but somehow, my computer not allowing me to get to window xp desktop. When my computer start to load window xp, it shut off and reboot again. No error indicated other then asking whether I should load window as safe mode or not. When I select safe mode, it reboot again.
I don't have a new hard drive so I used an older IDE hard drive from my previous P4 computer that the motherboard went dead last week.
My question is, could it be my older hard drive not set up correctly or something else?
Should I buy new SATA hard drive and see if it work?
Or one of my connection are not connected properly?
I am using the internal graphic card for now. No other attachment beside DVD Rom and hard drive.
Please help.
