Windows xp home edition
Brand new motherboard
Brand new hard drive
Will not boot up on its own
F2 key will get it to boot sometimes
f8 key does nothing
Tried reformatting hard drive--and even while loading windows-it will not reboot when windows needs it to reboot to go to the next loading stepIt sounds as if it is booting up but the screen remains black
Could it be a bad copy of windows
Could it be a bad vid card
I have tried every fix i can find on line and nothing worksOnce it is up and running it runs perfectly-no shutdowns or freezes or any other problems
