Hello,
I think from the results of some searches that I've made a rookie mistake and will have to reinstall Windows but if anyone could offer an alternative I would be very grateful.
I built a mini-ITX system and, after a few weeks, decided that some of the glitches I was experiencing were down to the motherboard so I sent it back for an identical (but hopefully non-faulty!) replacement. I've changed nothing else about the system but Windows 7 now crashes early in its boot process (just after the Windows splash screen starts). There's a brief blue screen but it flashes by too quickly for me to read anything. The System Repair tool will run but doesn't find any problems that it can fix.
I've found lots of threads where people complain about the same or similar issues after replacing the motherboard with a slightly different one and end up with no alternative but to reinstall. Are there likely to be any other options in my situation?
Massive thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions!
