The motherboard died due to a power surge, so I decided to go with a new build. I’ve purchased the following:
- GA-H55M-UD2H LGA 1156 H55 (gigabyte MoBo)
- Core i3 550 3.2GHz Socket 1156
- 2 x 2GB microcenter RAM
I’ve plugged my existing harddrive and DVD roms and upgraded from a 350W PSU to a 550W PSU.
When powering the desktop, I can see windows loading, but after 3-5 seconds the system reboots. I’ve tried to load a fresh Windows XP PRO OS, it checks for my hardware configuration, but I get a blue screen when windows attempts to load.
Any ideas?
