Title: Utterly confused...  help needed please!!
Post by: darqmaster2000 on July 13, 2005, 12:12:34 AM

Okay...  I made the jump to a p4... prior I ran nothing but amd builds...

System specs are as follows:

p4 530
AOpen s661fxm-7s
1 gig pc3200 ram
80 gig hd x2
256 meg nvida agp
dvdrw

Get all the components in the mail...  yay!

Quickly assemble, briefly reading directions as I go...  

After getting everything in order I fire it up...  beautiful!

Went through the 1st Post screen before I entered CMOS and took a look around... made sure my drives were in order, boot sequence was correct...

Saved and Exited...

Come the 2nd Post screen (right after the raid check) it freezes...  doesn't attempt to read either of my drives...  just out and out freezes...  every single time...

I've swapped out drives, taken drives out, reset the bios via jumpers, did the hookey pookey...  nothing works...  always freezes after the raid check...  *screen where it displays the irq settings*

It doesn't even attempt to read either drive...  

Frustrated...  I took one of my drives out of a secondary computer thinking I could boot into windows...  shame on me...  same thing...

I'm in dire need of assistance...  I've checked many faq's...  nothing...  

Help?

Thanks!
