Hey guys,
I'll try to make a long story short to not take away too much of your time. I have a computer, it's about 6 years old and is obviously, by now, outdated and crappy. A friend of mine had a computer in the original box and decided to send it to me!
He's used it before in the past though, but only barely. It's about 3 years old and a sick upgrade compared to my old PC! So I got it in the mail, took off the lid and I put in my video card, and plugged in my hard disk, I turn it on, it starts up to the windows screen for a split second then blue-screens and starts up again.
All fine I guess, but I'd kind of want it to work. Would it be usefull if I went out to buy a new hard disk and a new windows CD? Cause I'd like to keep my old computer as a back up in it's current state. Besides, the hard disk has like a 250gb capacity, which is shit when you're torrenting movies!
TL;DR > Will my second hand computer start working if I buy a new hard disk and a new windows version?
If any of you lot could help, it would be greatly apreciated!
