Hey; this is my second computer I’ve built for myself; I’m very experienced with computer hardware (even made a 4-pin CPU plug for a psu without one; Email me if you’d like details)
Anywhom; My problem is this: I’ve constructed a custom computer which I’ve had XP running on for a good 3 or so months. Recently I went to defrag the HD (seagate 13GB) and it blue-screened every time on startup after that. So I went to re-install XP and lo and behold; it bluescreens when starting from the disc (2002 OEM edition from my laptop) I know the disc works because I’ve used it multiple times before and it’s worked.
I’ve gone as far as to order a free Ubuntu disc; which is getting posted here.
Specs are:
Intel Pentium III processor, 650Ghtz
13GB IDE Seagate HD
(Unknown / unbranded mobo)
512mb RAM
Thanks for any help,
Julian
