    Hi Guys

    I imaged my old drive and installed and re imaged a new drive after installation, not every time it boots I get a grey box memory test, system test and exit..?

    If I exit it loops back to the same screen? I did Alt+7 in the bios to reset everything but no joy?

    Any idea's? :(

    Thanks

    EDIT: I took out the new 7200rpm drive and formatted it (didn't do this last time) re applied the image and I'm back up and running now :)
