so I got all excited and bought a new processor, another 512mb of RAM and a new HD for audio and backup...

mobo is an Epox 8kha+, was running an XP1700+, now its a 2400+

I had flashed the bios with no probs, even run a bunch of shit afterwards to make sure it was all good.

it WAS

so I pop the new processor in, with nothing attached...just the proc, RAM, and vid card.

hit the switch, and poof. turns on for a split second then turns off.

FUCK FUCK FUCK

so...I put the old processor back in...SAME god dammit!

it was working perfectly before all this fucking shit...and now even the old config wont work

cleared CMOS and tried again, still naught

the ONCE, with the old processor, I got it to turn on?

ONCE, out of 15 times. now nothing again.

I can not for the life of me figure this fucking shit out and I am about ready to break something.

argh.

I know no one hear can really help, but Icant call epox or amd til tomorrow and I wanted to whine. fuck

Why can't my computer problems be so simple...

I have a perfectly good pc that I can't get running - I tried to partition the h/d, and didn't do it right, and then undoing in made it worse. I can't get Windows installed to run the thing. I am not happy about it. I'm tempted to throw it out.

Yeah - it really is amazing man. If I could get this thing running, I'd be happy about it. Something tells me its something simple, but I don't really have the time/patience to deal with it.

I just realized its kinda funny that I offered to fix something when I just pulled such a stupid blooper

aside from that, itd be way quicker to ship it to Craig, and he is, by far, way more experienced than I am at this stuff

seriously Darin, get off your ass and pass it off to someone! you cant just let a box SIT THERE!

Windows XP? The setup for that runs Fdisk and Format and all that good stuff for you. Are you saying it's failing at that?

You booting the computer off the install CD?
