I recently purchased the basics of a new computer. I bought a graphics card, motherboard, procesor, and ram. I replaced all the parts from my old system with the new ones and now it doesn't boot up windows.
I'm running an OEM version of Windows XP Home so I don't know if it's not booting because I've changed too many parts from the OEM spec. I've also tried running Ubuntu linux from a live CD but thats not worked either. It mentioned something about timing and kernel errors but I think thats related more to Linux than Windows itself.
When I try to turn it on, the computer boots up and I can get into the BIOS settings. The BIOS shows the correct ram and processor as well as all the old hard disks and DVD drives. I made sure it's booting from the correct hard disk and exited out of the BIOS.
After that, the Windows loading screen shows up for a split second then a blue screen flashes and the computer restarts. It does this every time, it gets to the point where you would be waiting on windows to load, and just flashes a BSOD and restarts. The BSOD flashes too quickly for me to read what the error message is before it restarts so I don't know what the problem is.
Does anyone know what the problem might be? Have I missed some sort of BIOS setting that I'm supposed to fix or is it an actual Hardware problem?
