My ECS K7S5A just died for no reason - I was surfing the net and the PC restarted but didnt show anything on screen. Meanwhile the Optical drives emitted a solid lit light and the motherboard and PSU emitted a burning smell so I quickly turned it off from the mains - the soft off options didn't work!!
I now replaced it with an Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe and a 500W Jeantek ATX Power Supply - the PC now boots up and shows the boot screen. Then once its established the IDE drive it shows the message of "We are sorry but Windows did not start properly......and I have the option to Start the PC in Safe Mode, with Networking and Command Prompt, Last Know good configuration and Start Windows Normally. ALL of these options keep cuasing the computer to restart and Windows doesn't even start!!
I put the HD into my sisters PC as slave and I can access the files on that drive without any problem. Its just I cannot boot into Windows on that drive, on my sister's PC or the one which I changed the motherbaord in.
Where does the problem lie and how can I get into Windows on that Hard Disk?
