Hi all, i recently build a pc with windows 2000 and it works fine with minor problems (just takes a long time to boot)
apart from that everything else it fine..

But, i installed windows XP i started having A LOT of problems.
I installed service pack 2 and i installed the main software drivers like sound card and Graphics card which requires a re-boot, i thought i install them then restart it which saves me to boot several of time but after that.

I restarted my pc again to see if it boots okay. the first problem occured.. Hardware confliction i think which goes to a blue screen (which says **STOP**) then restarts itself and it just repeats the same process over again.. i had no choice but to format the pc again.

second problem is, after i installed winXP again and sorted out my first problem, its now the sound card which windows doesn't detect after 5 second of booting.
The only sound i hear is the DING sound when you try to click outside an error message and also the annoying windows theme.
Any others sound i cant hear.. i tried going into Control Panel > sound properties but it shows grey with no sound card/drivers.

I then unplugged my pc swapping my sound card to a diffferent PCI slot. Still doesn't work so i changed it back to the first pci slot.

Then when i started to boot the PC, my display doesn't work.
All i can see it organge light saying 'No Signal'

I tried other monitors but still having the same problem..

(( I think my graphics card is fried or my motherboard ))

I think Windows XP doesn't like my pc
