Posted September 3, 2015 Help me pl0x My dad has a pretty old PC with winXP, so I decided to swap the OS HDD for a SSD with win7 pre-installed, but when I booted with the new SSD, it asked me to choose whether to boot safe mode, last known boot, or normal boot, and when I choose normal boot It just shows the windows logo and it reboots itself, going back to the options again, same with the Last known boot option (this time the logo stays longer, then it reboots again). Is it the compatibility issue? or am I doing something wrong? here's the build of the old pc Intel Pentium E5400 P5KPL-AM-CKD-VISUM-SI mobo DDR2 2 GB PC2-5300 Thanks in advance!
