So, my PC is screwed isn't it?

if the mobo is slightly different version than the original this will cause some other hardware issues.

your best bet is to try and reinstall windows.If that doesn't work means other hardware is screwed as well, or the guy didn't install the mobo right.

It may be worth while calling them up first to tell them what is happening after the mobo install. This being an option if you are too lazy to try and reinstall windows and backup your files (i.e. take hdd out and copy it to another hdd)

Same exact MoBo.

 

I did try and reinstall windows by restoring the computer to factory settings and it never got around to the procedure. Instead I got hit with a black screen after the reboot.

 

After like 10 shut downs and reboots I am now using my laptop, although I know once I power it down I am fucked again.

hmm it could be anything really. form new mobo to jsut a faulty HDD. but usually when a mobo dies it kills a few components. When that happened to me, I had to replace video card, hdd and ram (this was a pc not laptop).

It may be worth while if you got two ram modules, to pull one out and see how it goes. If it crashes, switch to the other one, if it crashes again then it isn't your ram or both modules are playing up.

 

TRY THIS:

Right click on Computer icon. go to Manage. Then go to Event Viewer > Windows > and read the system log and application log to see what errors you get on bootup. Note: the system log can take a while to load.

This may give you a clue.
