Wow ok thanks for the quick reply ,from the start my psu died but somewhere along the track my os got corupted i was advised to do a clean install from a tech at a computer store,i did that it got to were it says windows will now reboot for the first time ,it shut down and rebooted then a black screen with the mouse thingy in the middle of the screen ,then the mouse froze and that was it just hanging there for over an hour i have left it .I have pressed f8 and tryed installing it in safe mode and the same thing happened ,except that was after the instalation complete.I have since disconected the speakers,the internet from the back of the pctryed again same thing ive managed 5 times to get to were it says windows will now reboot to complete instalation ,i have even tryed taking the disk out and inserting it again when it reeboots still nothing ,i have now fomated my disk as i was running out of space.if theres anything else i need to answer let me know.I did a frwesh instal about 6 months agao and had no problems.
