I'm not sure where this post belongs, but I am in need of some help. My friends computer (which i put together) all of a sudden tonight made quote:

"a loud EEEEEEEEE noise, then restarted and brought me to a black screen that says 'sorry for the inconvience.. bla bla bla..windows was restarting because it was saving files.' then it starts loading windows, windows loads then restarts and goes back to the black screen"

from searching the forums, my guess is that it's the powersupply. I do remember that we took an old powersupply (probably anywhere from 300w to 380w) from an old OEM comp. If I remember right we bought a cpu, and ram new.

considering that it still trys to load windows, and gives him an error screen, i'm guessing it's not his harddrive.

Is it his powersupply? or what could it be? Thanks
 
Actually, if I were in the situation, and Windows was trying to load then fails, I would suspect the hard drive. BUT, the power supply could have failed and caused data corruption, or fried something else with it.
