My computer kept crashing and switching itself off. Anyway, gave up messing with it etc so i'm formating it. Now it keeps bringing up a blue screen when formating or if i try to create partitions seperate.

Anyone got any ideas?

Could be to do with BIOS settings - have you fucked around with them; ie. changing mode from auto to LBA or something like that?

Try stripping the PC down to a bare system - just leave VGA card, HDD, and CD-ROM drive, then see if you get the same problems.

Check the jumper settings on both drives too!

It's got as far as the 78% on the format so far. If it crashes again i'll take out the wireless card, DVD Writer and one of the mem chips. Most the stuff on this system is onboard. I've got exactly the same system back at my parents house, just with a slightly slower CPU so i could just swop them. Hardly stay there anymore.

For some reason it's the memory. Windows will not go on with two 512 chips. It's got past the format stage now but i'm gonna leave it until this evening when i get home.

Maybe they are different types of RAM but identical in physical appearance?
