PC not booting

[Soumyajit]

Hi
my PC is not booting. I have had this problem earlier... it happened bcoz the hard disc on which win xp is installed is automatically being selected as 2nd disc... so i went to bios settings and change this hard disc to primary hard disc and it worked.
but this time, even after i am doing the settings change and pressing F10, the screen is going blank (even though the CPU is running).
pls advice. i have a AMD Athlon 3800+ with a Asus M2NMX motherboard.
regards

Please include full config list.


BTW, how did this problem start? Are you sure your PC is not overheating??
Please refit your RAM and try again.

Can you run Linux from a CD / DVD? Are lights of keyboard and mouse glowing??

If you have two hdds, remove the one which does not include the OS u want to boot. Then keep the other HDD in primary disk setting and try to boot ur PC.

Do reply what happens when you do so?
