Hi peeps,

My pc seems to have died a death. At first i thought it was only the HDD, so i formatted it. Pc wouldnt go past the POST screen after this. So i got another working HDD, same thing.
If i disconnect the drives the pc goes past the POST and give the usual No boot record error, as it would do. Connect the drives and it sticks on the POST screen.

There is a LED display on it which goes from 26 (which is apparentlly a Graphics error, although there has been no issue witht he graphics card before this.....could be the problem i suppose?) onto a 6D error, which i cant find listed anywhere.

Ive reset the CMOS still the same thing happening. I shall be trying another graphics card and probally main board if i have one laying around at home, but thought id see if you little geniuses had any ideas?

Cheers

First, check your jumper pin setting, compared to the order/position it is on the IDE ribbon cable. See this post ( Install a Hard Drive ) for proper Jumper Pin settings on a hard disk drive.

Go through the list and be sure all your cables, jumpers and IDE1 position are correct.

Thanks for the reply City, I've actually got round this problem now. The issue was with the IDE cable for the HDD's. After trying a couple of different graphics cards to no avail, I took everything out and reinstated it one by one, eventually all things back on the board, it booted up and allowed me to reinstall Windows.
