Hi, i recently decided to do a clean install on my DELL DIMENSION 8300, nothing unusual i do one every couple of months but this time problems!
after formating the harddrive, XP copies the files over then restarts all as normal then it just seems to hang on the install demo @ 39 mins the xp tips are still showing and the green progress dots are still going around, but thats it! i've tried multiple restarts and installs, i've swapped out the memory, harddrive, dvd drive & graphics card but all to no avail. Is it likely to be the mobo?
Any thoughts or ideas would be much appreciated.
