just changed my e6400 for a q6600 go and installed a tunic tower. The only problem is when the machine boots the "welcome to windows screen slowly fades on as if there is only just enough power to get in to windows,. It appears that when I am in windows everything is fine. Any ideas please? Everything was fine with the e6400 
System spec is 4gig of ocz 6400
mobo ds3r
win xp
cpu q6600
power 580 watts
graphics 7800 gt
Two sata hard drives non raid Just had a thought. I had a similar problem with a ds3p concerning the satta drives. Must be a bios setting as on the ds3p if the wrong sata details were clked then it wouldn't boot: just prefering to almost boot.
