Hi! My motherboard packed up so I bought another, this being a MSI 865GM3-LS. This is a P4 board, as was the old one, and we have 512mb RAM and 2.8GHz CPU. The machine is otherwise an eMachines PC, as bought from PC World. When I try to restart the computer it simply gets so far and then reboots every time (with Win XP) and I am told that I need to reinstall Windows to sort it out. Is this really right? Do I have to lose all the data on the hard disk? Or are there some files that I could copy across and make it work?
Any help appreciated!
