So, i got back home to find my motherboard and/or cpu to be dead (fans running, no video). so i went to the basement and pulled out my old rig :
biostar tforce 550 (nforce 550 chipset) and an athlonx2 4600 windsor i believe.
the rig that died was a gigabyte g33 (stripped variant of p35 chipset) mobo and a c2d e8200 maybe.
so windows 7 as normal wouldn't boot, due to driver conflicts probably.. so i tried to boot it in safe mode w/ networking.. still no go. it stalls after loading the classpnp.sys driver and then reboot. startup repair just does its "attempting repairs for 5 hours without letting you cancel" routine afterwards, because of the failure..
how can i get this to work? i'm already dealing with a hard drive failure on my laptop... please help me save my desktop!
