Is everything but the monitor, keyboard and mouse disconnected

[pleasehelpmenow]

yes... except for one RAM stick......

or would i need to remove that also....

if so... i'll do it...

if that doesnt work. what should i do next??

[Retired Tech]

Are you sure the RAM left in is good?

Do you know which make and model hard drive

[pleasehelpmenow]

yea, i tried all three different rams,

its a maxtor.. 120gb

not sure of the model number, im not at home right now....

but i have two hard drives (one which i store all my important data on)

and i tried to install windows on that (without format) with the main hard drive unplugged...

and that didnt work either...

[Retired Tech]

Maxtor have a set up utility for their hard drives, check the model number just in case

Did you look at a parallel install

windows does not install at all... it freezes 2 mins into the install...

i've even tried running a live linux cd, that freezes also...

i was told it could be some sort of monitor or resolution setting in cmos or something??
