Worth looking at. I was only meaning that if the hardware was old. Can you not get the drive in another computer, get your stuff off, then format it and do a fresh install? Doing an install with data already present is not ideal. | |

I doubt it can be isolated to one thing. Its pretty bad if it can't even boot. Normally you would get a boot up with errors. | |

Is there anyway I can remove the drivers from the HDD to avoid formatting the HDD and losing everything? | |

You get a core dump don't you? | |

Thats a really stupid feature to enable by default. | |

Yeah, or something related to boot up that was causing it. Windows will reboot automatically if something terribly bad happens. | |

try pushing f6 (?) to boot into safe mode, see if that has an effect? | |

Ive tried a new psu now. It does exactly the same. It is a budget one for about fifteen quid but it said it was 600w and while I know budget ones wont give me that much Im sure it will be enough to power an AMD Sempron 2400+? | |

Disconnect the hard drive and see if you can get as far as getting a boot error as there's no system disc. Also try booting to a floppy. | |
