Hey all
I was just hoping someone can help me with this small problem i seem to be having. Lets start with the fact i'm currently a computer engineering student and have alot of experience fixing computers, however i have finally came across one i just can't rap my head around
I have a pc here and when i try to install windows it refuses to do it. Takes me to different stages every time before it just decides to restart. I have swapped out the memory, the hard drive, the cd rom drive, the graphics card and nothing. It still won't install windows without restarting. I even tried installing another hard drive with windows pre-installed, still restarts. also changed out the cables and checked that the capcitors aren't burst. There are no visible scortch marks on the board... I have absolutly no idea where the other problem could be unless it's a faulty motherboard or cpu.
It's an AMD athloon 3400+
512mb ram or 256mb (tested)
64mb graphics
120gb hard drive
Eberly (GA-K8VM-P-NF)
In addition i have taken out all PCI cards.
thanx for the help in advance
