Okay, so I am building a new computer, I had a dell 8400, and I am using the hard drive and cd drive, I got a new motherboard (Asrock conroe 1333) a new cpu, intel core 2 duo e6700, and a new psu. I have 2x 1g's of memory and 2x 512mbs, will all of them in it wont turn on, well it did last night but now its not, the usb ports where showing power now they are not..
any ways my real problem is it is obviously not able to boot up because of my old hd, it will turn on but then say this config is not working.
Basically my question ins how do I install a new motherboard, and cpu on an old hard drive, and I do not need any of the stuff on the old hard drive but the operating system, but it is from a dell and people have said you cant use it for a different mother board, I can get windows 7 on my mac but I am not sure how I would install it to my old hd, and how I would clear it since it does not start up. Help please diablo 3 is eminent.
