Hi
dads just upgraded his PC.
Before he had
3.0GHz Intel single core CPU i think
1.5gb DDR ram
256mb graphics card
then two hard drives

Bought a new motherboard: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-195-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1483

Processor: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-248-AM&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=803

RAM: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-192-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=817

PSU: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-006-CS&groupid=701&catid=123&subcat=1084

DVD Drive: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CD-087-LG&groupid=701&catid=10&subcat=

Just put it all together, turned on, show the inital screen with all the computers information. Then we get to the screen that asks if we want to boot into:
Safe mode
Safe mode with networking
Safe mode with command prompt
Last known good config
Start normally

Tried all of the above options and just restarts the PC after a second after clicking on it.

Any idea what we can do to solve our problem?

Any helps appreciated

Cheers!

Try taking out the ram & putting it back in it or take out one stick leaving one in the primary slot

Will try that, thank you

Im guessing you have not done a clean install???
This is the best option after replacing a motherboard, nevermind all the other parts.

+1 for the clean install, always do it when upgrading that many things.

Think we'll get a new HDD then for a fresh install. Thanks

When I added a new mobo I booted from the windows CD & selected 'repair windows' or reinstall windows & presumably it detects missing drivers & loads the generic ones on the disk because it eventually loaded o.k
