OK many thanks for all your support in the other thread, I've got a new mobo and PSU on the way, and Thursday is the day to rebuild.
Now, firstly I'll try the PSU and if it works just return the mobo. This is possible, but unlikely.
Now I have quite a lot on my main drive that I don't want to lose, is it possible to put the new mobo in and simply do a Windows install over the top of my existing install on the same drive? Without formatting the drive first? This would include an install of the mobo drivers and so I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't work.
I would probably do a full backup then and do a proper reformat and install anyway.
Many thanks
