Question to computer builders,
I purchased a new pre-built computer (specs below) and this morning after setting it up, I tried to update my Logitech mouse drivers. Afterwards, I got some error message, I rebooted the computer, got a BSOD, rebooted then again and after that reboot, I have had nothing but an endless loop of reboots.
Immediately after the memory check, the computer reboots and doesn't progress past that point. Rarely and randomly I am able to enter the BIOS, however, I am not able to access it with any consistancy.
Because this happened immediatly after installing mouse driver, I naturally suspect that somehow this is the cause of my problems. The computer was not turned on for more than an hour and I was only connected to the internet for about 10 minutes just to download the Vista drivers for my mouse. In all my experiences with WinXP, I was able to remedy any possible driver issues by simply entering safe mode and uninstalling. In this case however, I cannot get to that point, not even to reformat.
I've taken out both sticks of RAM independently, did a visual check to make that all of the obvious connections were in place. I wiggled the heat sink to make sure that it was firmly in place and now I am at a loss what is causing the problems. I have inserted the Vista cd before rebooting but have not had a different outcome.
Worth noting is on my front bezel, adjacent to the green power light is a red light that is immediately lit when I power on the computer and this has been the case since the BSOD.
Thanks for your help and insight in advance. Any advice or leads are appreciated.
