I posted this in the technical support area and i still can't figure it out:
I was inside my computer trying to change the IDE ribbons to make my HD the master drive and my burner the slave. (my current configuration is DVD master/CD Burner slave on one IDE controller). When running Nero it said that i would have better performance if the two CD drives were hooked up to different IDE controllers. So after changing the cables i tried to get it to work without success. Frustrated, i just decided to put it back the way it was and head to bed. So after putting everything back the way it was, i started the computer, it posted fine, checked the ide controllers and located my HDD, burner, and DVD. But when it started to load up windows the screen freezes and the computer restarts? It just does this repeatedly....what is the problem?? anyone know? I checked and rechecked all the connections and made sure i didn't break any componets...what do you guys think?
What the hell did i do to my computer?
