    Help ? New Upgrade

    More info would help. What did you upgrade from? Do you have a P4 rated power supply? If there is no bad hardware- ie cpu or mb then Start from scratch. Take it apart, just put in a vid card, memory & floppy. See if you can boot from a DOS disk. Then add items one at a time- HD, CD, etc.
