HI There I hope someone can help with this. I am having a problem booting into windows after my machnie posts.

These are new parts that I have just fitted I have unplugged everything part from the HD but still no luck.

It starts to load windows then BSOD and shuts itself down.

THis is the mobo: Gbyte AM2 GA M61P-S3

Any ideas?

Thanks for the reply.

Yes unfortuantly the BSOD is too quick to catch, is there any way to slow it down?

This is the memory I am using Cors VS 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 4300

How do I tell what defaults they need to be set at?

Thanks again

Whoops yes its cosair value select mem 4200 here is the part number : VS2GBKIT533D2

I know its not that good but the pc is not going to be that high spec just for browsing the web etc

Just checked all the voltage settings are on auto

OK I took a video of it erroring and managed to glean that it is a Stop 0x0000007B error.

I am googling it at the moment but anyone got any other ideas?

The odd thing is I have tried it with Two diffenrt hard disks One with XP on it and the other with Vista.

Same problem, so I am guessing my problem is somewhere else.

I am not using Raid or SATA, could this be my problem?

Mybe I will try a repair from the OS disk

I can't get it to boot from the cd now.

It just says press any key to boot from cd or dvd then gos to a screen saying that windows had problems starting last time and how would I like to start windows this time.

Any ideas?

Is there a issue with having a dvd drive as a master and a HD as a slave?

I can boot from the cd drive if I disconnect the HD but that is not much good as I need both available.

I can see both the drives in the bios.
