Hi,
I am new to this, so apologies if i seem a bit simple.
Yesterday I put the components together for a new pc, but the damn thing doesn't work. This may be related to a bent pin on the socket 775 board, although i thought i had put it back into place.
When i turn the pc on it appears to load normally, but when it gets to the part where windows should be loading, it resets. The bios recognises the cpu (core duo 2.67mhz), so I am not sure if this pin is the problem. Components are listed below:
Abit motherboard IP35-E Intel P35 ;
Intel CPU Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz ;
Corsair 2048MB TwinX XMS2 6400 DDR2 ;
500GB Seagate Barracuda SATA II 300 7200rpm 8MB cache
+ old hard drive (160MB - windows xp installed) ;
NEC Optiarc AD-7170S-0B SATA Black 18x DVD ±RW/RAM ;
ThermalTake TR2 470W Black Silent +ATX 12V 2.0 PSU ;
Asus TA861 Black/silver midi tower case NO PSU ATX
Thanks, in advance.
