Yes, loaded windows on another machine to try and then popped into the DEll. I have done this before with sucess on other Dell machines but this one wont have it. The machine worked fine before the reformat albeit really slow. I have tried alternating the ram modules and checked to see if they are ok. All working fine. Done a check disc, thats fine. removed all hardware to try and install windows, but it gets to a point and restarts on loop. The copy of windows works fine on the other machine.
Tried resetting the cmos taking the battery out and reset the passwords (if any) using the mb jumpers.
