ok so i recently purchased a dx58so motherboard, an intel i7-950, 2 2gb sticks of crucial ddr3 ram and installed those in my new computer i built. before i installed thee things, the computer worked fine. i also have windows 7 64 bit installed, in case that matters.
now, the problem is that when i boot up, and it gets to the "starting windows" screen, is starts to load and then the computer restarts and tells me that windows did not start properly. when i install my with my old settings, it works fine. is there anything i can do to fix this without trying out a new hard drive?
also, i dont have my stuff to re-install windows 7. i have the CD, but i never wrote down the key to go with it (i get free software from my school i used to attend but do not go there anymore) is there a way i can find my cd key without buying a new copy of windows 7?
