I've recently built a new PC, but transfered an older hard-drive, so I could keep my settings. However, the older PC was very buggy and crashed alot, but me and my dad thought it was a motherboard problem.
However, when I installed the Hard Drive, and try to load up my stuff, I normally get a crash, or a brief (quarter-second) blue screen and the PC restarts, which happens in both normal and safe modes.
Would any of you guys be able to tell me whether this is likely to be a Har Drive, or RAM (I transfered a small amount of that,too) problem, or what it is likely to be.
PS. I'm running Microsoft Window XP, and the Hard-Drive is a 20GB Seagate model.
Cheers for any help!

OK, I was gonna get a new Hard Drive anyway, and I can take the Ram I got out of the old PC out, as it was only 128mb, and I have a nice shiny new 512mb ddr 333mhz chip in there. :D
As a rule you shouldnt use an older hard drive that hasnt been reformatted in a new computer, it causes problems.
What motherboard and RAM you got there?
I would take out all your ram and see what the PC does. If it screams at you for having no ram then the ram is the problem. Otherwise try a similar approch with every component until you find the problem.
