Hello all,

My mate is having a bit of a problem with his computer atm. He just had to buy a new MB and CPU due to the old one overheating despite reapplication of heat paste and better cooling.

Now he put a ECS S42/661FX motherboard along with a P4 3.2ghz in addition to 2x 512mb RAM that he had previously. Everything else is the same but when it comes to boot - there is first a problem with boot order, then when booting to windows (Safe mode) it boots then stops at the AGP___.sys and a347bus.sys drivers then loops to start again.

The HD and windows was fine previously so am a little confused.

Thanks for any help

new motherboard = new install of windows almost every time, i'm afraid. Can try a repair install perhaps, does he have the disk, or a recovery disk or is there a recovery partition?
