Hi,
I hope someone can help. I just purchased an HP a450y computer without a hard drive or video card. I place a WD 500GB HHD , new BFG GeForce 7300 GT 512MB AGP card and 2 stix of 1024 PC 3200 memory. I'm trying to load win XP Pro, but can not even get to the Bios or a POST.
Need help badly.
Thanks
