      Further to @FreeBooter good question, make sure the optical drive is empty.
      Keep pressiing F11 on boot and select the correct HDD, for the system to boot, from the menu.

        Which Fan did you replaced?

          What happens exactly, does for example the computer power up but you get no display or does the computer power up but you get a boot failure message on the screen

          As an asides surveyor1951 as a courtesy would you be so good as to update or conclude your previous thread here thank you (y)

              Are you sure all power is supplied to the motherboard?
              Main and auxiliary cables are connected?

              I have gotten similar response if the CPU was damaged, or the auxiliary power to the CPU was not connected.

                It was the psu. I reinstalled the old one & now it boots up with a DVD iso image from Microsoft, but it is all in Korean,so I have to look for an English one.

                          Not being pedantic but going off topic here which is not good practice, your reply #8 suggests that the issue that you requested help with in your OP has now been resolved, marking this thread as being solved may more quickly help others looking for help with the same or a similar issue.

                          Please start a new thread on the Windows 7 forum here and someone will be along to offer you the most appropriate guidance asap, thank you for your understanding.
