Loading Operating System-Help

Hi, I bought a pc from Overclockers. Just gone to turn it on and it is stuck on Loading Operating System...

It has been for about 10 minutes now. Help would be much appreciate if you could help me fix this.

Have you checked the SATA cables haven't popped loose in transit? Sometimes vibrations can do that

Well it was working for yesterday. Just had a quick play. Goes on now and it is doing naff all. :/

Just rebooted it with the 7 disk in and it is doing some repair or other. Hopefully this works.

Thanks pal.

Okay, maybe I am really impatient but it has now been stuck on the attempting repairs page. It says several minutes, but its been a while!

So phone/contact Overclockers. This is why you bought a pre-made system after all.

In the meantime check for loose wiring and fans not spinning.
Getting stuck trying to load Windows can often indicate a duff overclock, assuming you haven't somehow destroyed Windows yourself.

You should speak with OcUK before doing anything meaningful.
