Maybe not the exact right spot for this post, if its not, im sorry :D
So after going through a few issues with my mobo's and having to get a new one, finally gettting BIOS running (then having a bad stick of RAM, fun), my computer freezes up when I choose to run windows (safe mode, normal mode, everything, just freezes every time) I've tried using a Dell recovery CD to no avail, it just freezes up when it starts to check my hardware config. I checked both of my HDs (I use one to run XP and the other as just storage) I was able to piggyback and read both of my HDs on another computer, but when trying to get my primary to boot up I got nothing but blank screen and freezing up as well (also when I just tried to run the primary HD). Now im sure the answer may be just to find a normal XP disk and reinstall or install on my 2nd HD, but any reason why the recovery disk hangs up when it checks hardware config? Thanks for any help, ive been reading the forums for awhile : )
