If it was the power supply, you'd be seeing nothing.
When the computer starts up, look for "Esc"
Delete" or an f value of f2 or f10. You must hit that button to get to the BIOS setup.
If it was the processor it would be due to overclocking or the thermal paste being worn out.

If it was the motherboard, it wouldn't even turn on.


Go and see if you can access the BIOS.

thanks for replying...yes i can get into bios...this is a clean install and i cant even get that far...screen just shows 1    1     1     1     1     1     1     1     1    all over this is wierd never had this problem ever!!! only thing in bios i changed was the voltage for the mem 2.2v from 1.5v thats what the mem calls for but it was acting up even before the change

Try using a livecd.
If it boots to the login screen or desktop- through the livecd- then the hard drive is to blame.
if not, you have some other issues at hand.

What's on this HDD ? ?

[xerxies]

brand new. clean cant even get to install.

Did you change the boot order in BIOS?
CD drive should be first if your are installing an OS.

[xerxies]

you bet...but just before it gets to the booting this happens....i've built 8 complete comps from scratch and this is a new one for me.

Return the drive for a replacement...

[xerxies]

From MSDN:

0x0000007E: SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
(Click to consult the online MSDN article.)
A system thread generated an exception which the error handler did not catch. There are numerous individual causes for this problem, including hardware incompatibility, a faulty device driver or system service, or some software issues. Check Event Viewer (EventVwr.msc) for additional information.

You may have been a bit hasty replacing the MBoard...
What OS is on the drive and are the install CD's genuine ? ?
