Answer» Ok, Im trying to rebuild a computer for the 1st time, and Im having some problems. I replaced the MoBo with a Soltek SL-K8TPro-939, put on a AMD 3200+, and 2 sticks of 512MB pc3200 ram. I kept my old case, hard drive, cd/dvd and floppy. I've got the hardware installed, and when I start the computer, it passed the memory check, shows all the drives, then flashes the Microsoft windows logo for a millisecond, then a blue screen with 3 paragraphs of text. Then the system re-boots and it does it all over again. The last screen is so fast I can't MAKE out any of the writting. Any Suggestions? Hints?
