My old computer died the other night. It would start for a second and then cut off and smell burnt. So I swapped out the power supply, no change, then I swapped out the CPU, no change.
I purchased a new Motherboard, CPU, and Ram. The old system was a: Asus M2n Sli Deluxe MB, AMD Athlon dual core 3.1, and 8 gbs ddr2 ramm, with a 120gb SSD.
The new system/components are: Asus A88X-Pro MB, AMD A10 5800K CPU, and 1 stick of 8gb DDR3 Viper RAMM.
I've re-used most of my old components: Bluray writer, DVD writer, Nvidia 550 Ti card, and a 120gb SSD. Some of my old components had IDE strips that couldn't be used any more( 2 dvd writers, a Floppy with USB 2.0 card reader, and a 1394 case connection) because there was no IDE connection on the new MB and I just figured I'd leave some of the old things off this new system for cost and streamline my system.
Problem:
The SSD has windows 7 installed from the previous build but the computer will not boot up windows. When I start the system I see the windows 7 boot screen, the 4 colored windows flag but then a quick flash to a blue screen and the system continues to restart and run the same cycle. I've tried booting from the windows disc and running repair but it's doesn't work.
Is there a way to run the system without re-installing windows all over again?
If anyone one can offer some help I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you
