a potential issue with your physical configuration.my computer crashes before windows loads unless the midi-tower is on its side and the motherboard is horizontal
Hi again asafaq.
Don't want to appear anal, can you fill in your system specs?

Oh, I wouldn't go that far! But the more info we have, without constantly asking questions, the better. A newbie to the thread will have all info to hand.Yeah I'm so sorry, never been to a forum so well organized and managed. Really. Updating this now.
And I originally had issues with my pc freezing / bsod'ing, until I replaced the "OEM" Sata cable for the HDD with an after market job. In other words, check the cables!I've also suspected this to be a loose power cable, but everything is in place.

Not exactly sure what that means, but......Well, the update is this:
I've changed the SATA cable, then positioned the mini-tower standing, and started the computer, went into bios and waited on it to question out physical problems. After about 7-8 minutes output went off on the display. Any idea where to go from here?
Another suggestion thrown in. As it operates in the side position, it obviously was a hardware insertion ptoblem. You then came up with the No11 post. Now that looks like an overheating problem. This , in my imagination, together with the odd previous behaviour, (Stopped after 8 minutes) points straight at a cooling fan, either loose or with a worn out bearing. Do you have a cooling fan on the Graphics card? I would have a look at all that you have and ensure they are turning.
