Oh Boy. Mobo Issue

[Hailstorm]

Ok, I installed a new mobo. The problem is. Is aint working 8-/ I can now get it to post. It is a D865PERL intel . I am switch stuff around, but no good. It will look like its booting then show the windows screen for a second then blank out to a blue screen of death. The bios shows my cpu right, but I am trying to get it up and running somehow. I have never had issues like this. I have to be missing something. Any ideas?

 

Oh its also starting up when I put the power on.

i know this is going to sound basic, but try diff memory, try just one memory, and do the phone book test..meaning take the mobo out, lay it on a phone book (non conductive) with minimum components to see what u get. Before you do that though, u said u were running windows? Try a known good hard drive that boots consistantly on other machines, or reformat the drive. another thing u could try is load into the BIOS and see how long u can sit idle in there. If its a hardware problem you could get a shutoff while in the BIOS but if its something with the hard drive or windows u should run stable in there

u either have to do a windows repair, or preferebly a windows reinstall when u replace your motherboard, i sugguest a reinstall.

as windows will try to use recources and drivers from the old motherboard and there is nothing to uninstall either, so a windows reinstall is the only way im affraid!

Well, Its up and running just fine. I reset cmos. Went through the bios, and reinstalled windows. Now, Its running and its humming along. Thankyou for the help gentlemen.

I had a similiar prblem- I tried to keep the same HD from a previous PC on my new one, and windows locked up and would not boot. A cleann sweep and reinstall ficxed everything!!

 

Glad it worked out for you!

This has happened to me lot's cosidering I change mobo's and proccies faster than Bill changes interns.

 

Why does everyone always say format-format-format? That's a little silly. When you switch mobo's if you boot the windows CD and select "repair windows installation" it will re-install all the devices and install the proper mobo drivers. There is no need to format and loose everything.

Very True. repair works well.

Someone here posted that if you uninstall the drivers for the ide/sata controllers, you can switch out mobos without any other work involved. Not sure if it works or not.

it's probably been said many times but I'll say it again, when you do a major hw change, YOU should always REFORMAT. try that.
