Basically problems have taken a different turn so I don't think the old thread really replies.
Basically my friend came to mine as I got a near new system and took my mobo (MSI K8N Neo 2 Platinum as his Gigabyte board only had 3 RAM slots, 1GB DDR (2x512) as he has 1 already, originally was supposed to have my old IDE 160GB hard drive but after the events in my previous thread he has my old 80GB IDE, my Antec Trueblue 480w the restarts from the hard drive made me wonder if his trusty Qtec was failing so I gave him my old one, he has my 3200+ AMD64 which was already installed on the motherboard and he kept his 9800Pro.
Now we got Windows installed, and I got him to perform chkdsk on both drives, all fine. Was working fine at my house, installed drivers and all seemed fine. He took his computer home all was well or so I thought. An hour later I get a text, he turned his computer on froze at Windows XP logon screen, so he restarted and now the computer turns on and nothing is displayed on screen.
I immediately thought GFX and connections etc so asked him to check all these, he will try this tomorrow. I also told him to re-seat his gfx card just in case. Now I will probably go to his tomorrow where I won't have any computer access so am asking now.
What possible problems could it be otherwise? I want to have as many ideas as possible ready as this has been going on since friday, we have literally spent 24 of the last 48 hours building my new one, rebuilding his, trying to sort both of ours out.
Any help appreciated.
