Hey everyone
I replaced my motherboard, ram, video card, etc. on my desktop with new ones but still have the old IDE hard drives (haven't gotten a chance to get new ones yet) which are not compatible with my new motherboard.
Because of this, I've decided to use my laptop's SATA HDD with my new stuff to test everything out and see if everything is in order. But when I connect it and turn the computer on, I get a beep and my screen shows MSI MOTHERBOARD and then I get an error:
(A) I can see Windows 7 starting up (the beginning of the logo animating) and then POOF! - BLUE SCREEN!
(B) When I change the graphics card for my old one, instead of a blue screen, the computer just tries to restart at the start of the Windows 7 Logo like in (A)
Does this problem have anything to do with the fact that my laptop hard drive was configured to run a laptop and cannot suddenly be put into a new setup and be expected to run? Do I need to re-format the HDD in order to use it to test my desktop's new hardware?
Thank you!
