I hope someone here can help because I'm in over my head on this one.
Wife has a HP Envy h8 1414 that all of a sudden will not boot. It gets to the black screen with the HP logo in the center, the little dots start making a circle then they stop.
Several weeks ago I upgraded the PSU and vid card after I disabled "secure boot" and enabled "legacy".
All the fans work, power button led on, red bar led on but no beeps when starting.
I can get to the BIOS and did HP's onboard diag tests and it says components are good. I tired a different hdd I have but the OS is win XP. It will boot, get to the XP load screen, then go to the "windows did not load..." I select either " start windows normal" or "safe mode" the list of foles populates the screen then freezes.
My guess would be the mobo but I'd like to be sure before I spend the money.
Any help will be gratly appreciated.
