ok bear with me on this one b/c i am totally stumped...
My friend calls me and says his comp is not working ( Windows XP P4
2.0 mhz, pci vid card 1Gig ram... ) thinks its his processor, wants to
try mine out. When he boots up his computer get to the windows xp
screen, just after boot.. then before it shows u the welcome screen it
shows the BSoD and resets and begins to boot all over again.
1. we try his processor in computer.. runs my machine fine... no
problems.
2. we try my processor in his computer... his doesen't work
3. we assumed at this point it was his motherboard.. we bought a new
one and installed... now we cant even get his computer to engage the
monitor
4. we replacede power supplys, processors, and memory sticks at this
point to try and weed any of that out. no luck.
heres where it gets weird.. we decide to try his components 1 by 1 in
my machine ( Winodws XP Pro 2.8 mhz P4 1 gig ram)
1 we put his video card into my machine... and bam i get the reset on
MY machine just like his was doing.. I say ok ... must be the video
card... put my card back in .. SAME thing !
2. maybe we got the processors mixed up? swapped them out .. same
thing only insted of reset.. i get the BSoD this time.. so we swap the
processors back. And wtih a reboot with all of my original equip it is
now doing the exact same thing his computer was doing.
Dinner..
OK so we decide to try his hard drive with my comp... it boots fine
!!!!!! WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF? ( pulling hair out )
put my Hard Drive back in ... same error...
put his Hard Drive back in ... boots fine..
ok .. his HD is good.. put it into his machine and it resets
again!!!!!
WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?WTF?

? we worked on it for well over 12 hours, got no sleep , my girlfriend
dumped me and im living on the streets now.... please help
