Hey everyone,
I've been having a hell of a time getting my computer working again.
First it was giving me RAM errors, so I tried different things with the RAM, no success. So I just ended up buying a new motherboard.
This FIXED the RAM errors.
Now, it boots into BIOS and the initial screen perfectly. I even reset the BIOS. But when I get to the Windows screens it locks up on me. Like I'll get to the boot selection screen (Safe Mode, Normal, etc), but if I press "Enter" it freezes up. SO I tried putting the Windows HDD into another computer. Boots perfectly.
So now I'm a bit stuck, how can I make it boot on my computer? I've never experienced or heard of anything like this before and I have no clue as to what component could cause something like this.
I'll also add that when the HDD was booted in a different computer, the HDD was being powered from my computer, so I know it is not my PSU.
