Computer Will Not Boot!!

Nintega · 01-30-2006, 03:49 AM

I decide to combine two computers I had in the basement. I added a Hard drive and a cd-burner to one of the computers. Started it up and it worked fine. Then I decide to see if the video card from the newer computer would work in the older one. (there is only 2yr difference, one is 1998 and the other 2000) It didn't boot, so I put the old one back in. Boot it up and it worked. I turned it off to move it and restarted the computer. Computer loads the gateway logo (i believe it is loading the BIOS) then freezes on that screen. I can't get it to load windows.

Please help!!

Try flashing the bios again.

The chronological difference doesnt tell us anything special.

What parts do you have? Questions 101
