| 476596 | 2006-08-07 23:07:00 | well my Dad called and said he found a screw and I asked him what it looked like, it's the missing one to my MOBO so it's not in the case lost some where. | McCloudX13 (10922) | ||
| 476597 | 2006-08-08 00:00:00 | A missing motherboard screw is something to worry about if it happens to be hiding between the case and the motherboard.You may be the world's only person to have experienced that problem! :D | Greg (193) | ||
| 476598 | 2006-08-08 00:47:00 | This may be from way left field but I once saw a similar situation where an 80 wire IDE Cable to the HDD had been swapped with the 40 wire one to the CD ROM. Do any of your IDE cables have coloured plugs? |

| 476599 | 2006-08-08 01:11:00 | You may be the world's only person to have experienced that problem! pressf1.pcworld.co.nz I doubt that very much. It happened just once to me when I put a new motherboard in my old case. Computer would not boot. That was several years ago. YMMV. pressf1.pcworld.co.nz |

| 476600 | 2006-08-08 02:15:00 | Missing motherboard screw is nothing to worry about. Sorry I can't be more help - it's really difficult to diagnose. Not sure why Norton Ghost is running - do you not have an original disk for Windows? A lot of the time when you buy a new pc, especially laptops, they come with a recovery cd that contains an image of hdd at the state it is in when sold. sounds to me that if McCloud is 'installing windows' again with that cd then it could quite possibly be a faulty image/cd and probably need to get hold of an original copy of xp and install from scratch. Also, a few times on my best mates computer it would freeze on the loading xp logo and what he'd do is unplug the monitor from the box and switch off the psu, reboot and it'd work... very random! |

| 476602 | 2006-08-08 16:32:00 | Just remember... you can use any disc you want to install Home Edition, all you need is your OWN license (which will be the key required for the recovery disc you got with your computer) | Myth (110) | ||

| 476605 | 2006-08-09 17:41:00 | pull the board out and test it on a bench..........if it works then it's likely that something is shorting it to the case...possibly a 'standout' in the wrong place ? | drcspy (146) | ||
