    Dell C521 Will not boot


    My SFF Dell C521 will not boot to its HardDrive. But when i put the same harddrive in my Dell XPS 410, it boots with no problems.

    I have had this OS on the C521 before, and it worked just fine.\

    The farthest it will boot is when the Windows flag is just forming, then restarts the pc.

    I have no idea why its doing this. Any ideas?

    SPECS:
    Windows 7 Home Premium x64

    AMD Athlon X64 Dual Core Processor 2.0GHz 3800+

    2.5GB Unbuffered DDR2 RAM

    PCI SLOT 1 Empty; 2 Empty; 3 Network Card

    Hitachi HDS725050KL 500GB HDD

    Sony CRX310S CD-RW/DVD ROM

    Integrated Video Card Memory Size: 128MB

    Dell Dimension C521 Small Form Factor Desktop w/ BIOS version 1.0.3 (10/02/06)

    If you need any other info, let me know.

    Did this same hard drive boot on this computer before? Without making any changes to it. The problem could be that it has different drivers and chipsets for the both pc's
