i am trying to boot up my new computer and i get error msgs saying express gate is not installed and "no any drivers found" i am reusing an old hardrive dvd drive and floppy disk drive, and im reusing my old RAM sticks. i bought a new mother board asus p5q se plus, a new nvidia geforce 8800 gts, and a new intel duo core 2.4 ghz, and a new sunbeam 520 watt pwer spply. Idk watt the problem is. windows will not start. The comp begins running a diagnostics test but tells me that it cant find the root problem.
 
You can't just plug in your old hard drive. You have to reformat (erase) it and install a fresh copy of windows.

Why would you phone Dell? Your computer is no longer a Dell.

I think you need to find a friend that knows computers a bit better, or take this one to a shop somewhere.
