862930 2010-03-02 01:02:00 I've just turned the other PC on here . It stops on the post screen, after it detects and says that the hdd is OK . But its not, because it wont boot lol .

I've changed the IDE cable (used the cd's), no go, tried another power adapter, no go . It was fine yesterday . There's only 1 beep, so the system itself is fine .

Its only when I remove the power to the hdd, that it gets past the post screen . The only thing, I havent tried is, to see if it gets past the post screen, on one of the other PC's .

So, any ideas why it would stop on the post screen, after its been detected, and it fine when I remove the power to it?

862932 2010-03-02 01:30:00 Hmm PSU has been fine. I've connected the hdd to this, this system picked it up and didnt hang on the post screen. I'm formatting it now, then I'll put it back in. And see what happens Speedy Gonzales (78)
