Turning on my PC last week, Windows failed to start.After Detecting IDE drives and just before 'windows is starting' message the screen goes black. I discovered that by removing my soundcard (Audigy Platinum)windows started as normal. I checked the soundcard in another PC and it is fine. I decided to re-instal windows 2000 but during installation as windows is checking your system section - it stalls and I get a message 'Hardware failure - contact your vendor' This is with soundcard removed. Has anyone any ideas? Thanks

As it says, a hardware failure, could be memory, motherboard or anything else. Take it to a computer repair shop for diagnosis/repair.
