Hi,
I have recently replaced a broken hard drive in my desktop PC
with a: (link) ST3300820SCE DB35 Series™ 7200.3 SATA 3Gb/s 300-GB Hard Drive | Seagate



But now when i turn my PC on i just get a black screen.
could anybody tell me what i have done wrong or what i would need to do to
get it running again? thanks.


If you need any additional info please post and ill try my best.
:tongue:

Nothing just a black screen and the standby light on my monitor is on.
Also it doesn't stop it just stays black until i turn the computer off

if you disconnect the hard drive do you see the post screens

what are you running
video card
cpu
m/board
ram
power supply
brand
model
wattage

check the listings in the bios for voltages and temperatures and post them

If it still won't POST, it's not a HDD issue.

You will need to pull it apart and test to try and determine the cause. There is a guide here > http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f15/how-to-bench-test-your-system-262998.html
