The computer POSTs but never gets to windows. It starts, showing the Windws Logo then restarts, even going into safe mode, loads the right files then just restarts. Now on to my main problem where this error shows: Since it is not booting I wanted to test the hardware first, to eliminate going any further on windows problems. I put in my Hiren's BootCD, and go to load a test (hard drive, RAM) and it gives me the error "your program caused a divide overflow error`` I looked up reasons this could happen and tried what I could but with no avail. Tried in the bios setting the chipset to a clockspeed of 266MHz rather then set to Auto, (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240982/en-us) The RAM runs at 400MHz. Also tried switching out the ram, switching out the processor, as that could be an issue. The disc works fine on other computers, but not this one. So something, either hard ware or some setting is stopping this from being able to run. Another suggestion was to turn off firewalls, but theres no firewall check on bootup or anything.. I`m out of ideas, any suggestions appreciated. EDIT: Ok so, so far I've found out that while both hard drives are connected, I get this error, connected seperatly there is no er

If you were receiving multiple seemingly random blue screen messages when windows was running, this would also indicate
by 0" or "Divide Overflow" error messages. The divide error messages are caused when the computer or software attempts run a process that attempts to perform a mathematical division by zero, which is an illegal operation. This error message could also be caused by a computer or software limitation or conflict with computer memory. Improper calculation If you or the program you are using performs a calculation in any program and experience a divide error, ensure that the calculation being performed is possible. Some programs are not capable of verifying the accuracy of a calculation and may perform an illegal instruction. Programs such as Microsoft Excel, will generate a #DIV!0 error indicating the formula or calculation is invalid, or you are attempting to divide by zero. Hardware or software incompatibility This issue can occur if software is being run on a computer that has hardware that is incompatible with the software. For example, this issue may occur with restore software designed for a specific computer and is being run on another computer or on the correct computer that has added hardware within it. Make sure all software installed on the computer is up to date and fully compatible with the system. Driver issue If you are encountering a divide error while using Windows, make sure you are running the latest drivers and software for all component hardware devices. Verify the video card, sound card, network card and modem drivers on the computer. You can find a listing of computer drivers on our driver page. Software issue If the divide error happens while in a game or program and the above recommendations does not resolve your issue, verify all software patches and upgrades have been obtained and applied. Also, verify no other program is running in the background that could be causing your problem by End Tasking all background programs and TSRs. External cache or 2nd level cache If you are encountering the divide error in an older software program or game it can be caus
