Hi Taz, Welcome to PCHF.

That error message could by the HDD, IDE cable or controller onboard the motherboard. This one isn't something you can really test without trial and error of first of all swapping your IDE/SATA cable with another, however, if your problem started after swapping your motherboard, I believe this makes this more likely.

If your PC is still under warranty, you may find it much cheaper to take it back to where it was purchased from (even though it sounds like the PC was put together by blind hypnotic sheep!!), and demand satisfaction!
