Greetings to the welshman.
I dont know if <A HREF="http://www.abit-usa.com/images/AWARD_and_uGuru_POST_code.pdf#search='bios code 7A'" target="_new">this</A> helps. It seems to suggest that the bios is shutting you down during or just after searching for the math co-processor.

thanks for you reply
Do you think I should reseat the cpu.
The only thing is its been fine for about 4 months
and I did not reseat the cpu this time I just pulled the whole lot out of the old case and put it straight in to the new one.
What do you think?

I have reseated the cpu
now it boots it windows after one blue screen then just turnes off in windows after about 1 min.
no idea whats going on

its ok I figured it out
I am using a big fan on the cpu that is connected to a molex instead of the mobo. the Guru sofware must have detected the fan as not working and was turning the pc off.
I disabled the fan monitor in the bios and now it works fine.
thanks for your help.
