Ok, PC is a new and was working perfectly Intel system with XP MCE 2005.

Changed PSU to a more powerful and quieter one. Now it won't boot properly. As soon as the windows loadinf screen with the little scrolling bar thing appears it reboots :(

Any thoughts? Can't really just put the old psu in as that's now in a different system.

Absolutely everything plugged in and tight? I know it's an almost insulting suggestion but the number of times i've seen experienced builders forget a 4pin motherboard cable or something beggars belief :p

Or in my case use the wrong screw and punch through the PSU circuit board :(

Step AWAY from the computer. Not insulting at all, divine. I ballsed up. There's 2 hard drives in the comp. One is left over from the old motherboard etc. and I haven't got around to wiping it to use it as space.

And of course I forgot to plug in the SATA cable for the new drive. So it was trying to boot from the old install :o
