everytime the pc starts up i see the windows xp intro screen and the quickly
a (well familir) darkblue screen for less than a second and then a restart (crash?) (over and over again)
i inserted the in xp pro + sp1 cd and tried repair, before install i get a blue screen with errormsg suggesting to try scandisk /f
tried reinstalling, same result
tried scandisk, ,chkdsk, etc, can't access any of the harddrives, scandisk lists NTFS drive.
I took the IDE drive from this PC and put it in the other PC and disconnected the other harddrives.
Put this one on IDE channel1 and as master (like it is on this (alternative, second) PC,
it was seen by the BIOS at startup, but does not boot into windows, it gets stuck in a cycle again, but without any quick bluescreens.
I have never seen or heard of something like this.
Any ideas? my 1st though: mainboard, ,and on second though: no not that mainboard, because it might not even have started up then. 3rd thought: RAM, 4th thought virus in RAM.
5th thought: howdo i find out what is broken? i can't just return everything, because it wasn't bought all at one place.
