Hi fellas.
I've just finished installing a new CPU and Motherboard to my PC.
I boot it, point the BIOS to my 500GB WD drive with Windows 7 on it, and all seems to be fine.
It reaches *Starting Windows* and gets about as far as it would normally take - then powers off, and restarts. I'm a little in the dark. After my desperation reached a climax and Google wasn't answering me I ran a system restore. Which has never worked in the past but hell desperate times and what not.
It sits there for 10-15 minutes with it's head somewhere I shan't describe, and tells me
"If you have recently attached a device to this computer, such as a camera or portable music player, remove it and restart your computer. *Talk to someone else yadda yadda*
The Diagnosis and repair details says:
*Chkdsk was completed successfully in 0ms, Software installation log diagnosis was completed successfully in 0ms, and Fallback diagnosis was completed in 0ms* << All of which is unhelpful and probably not true, considering the 0ms bits.
Followed by:
Root cause found:
---------------------------
Unspecified changes to system configuration might have caused the problem.
Repair action: System files integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x490
Time taken = 735545ms.
I'm seeing this as a definite software issue. I've left my tower on and there's no unexpected shutdowns or issues with heat. The only reason I haven't just wiped the drive and re-installed windows is that I haven't a copy of windows 7 in the house or a working DVD drive to burn one from..
My system is:
GIGABYTE 990FXA-UD3 *just installed - mobo*
AMD FX8350 *just installed - CPU *
XFX AMD r9 280
and my drives are:
500GB WD HDD *Has my OS on it, and information I want to save, but I plan to merge it with:*
1TB Samsung HDD
128GB Sansdisk SSD *Which I plan to install my new OS onto*
Can anyone offer any insight? Am I just gonna have to bit the bullet and find a DVD drive, burn a W7 disk and wipe my drive? (I really would rather not there's stuff on that drive I would very much like to save and I have no idea how I'm gonna get a DVD drive)
Thanks
