I ran WipeDrive and tried to install Windows 7 on a totally empty hard drive. It won't complete. It appears the memory's okay. Since I was unable to install anything more on the machine I was never able to test the hard drive, though I kind of think WipeDrive would have flagged me if there was an issue there. So, what's left, the motherboard or the cpu?
I've got to get a desktop running again, what's my best bet, to replace the mobo or the cpu or both? If it's a bios problem is there any way to deal with that at this point? Does bios live on the motherboard or the cpu?
