HELP!!! I"ve spent most of 2 days trying to get my new rig up. nF4-DAGF board, WD SATA 160G 7200rpm, 2x512 OCZ3200 rev3 (which ran 260(520) running mem86+ tests, Weeeeeeee) and a Gigabyte GT6200 Vid Card, Nec DVD Burner, Antec Case 400W Pwr Supply.
Problem is (at stock speed btw) when trying to install WinXP from CD it hangs on Checking system components message. I tied putting HD in another system and letting WinXP format the drive and copy WinXP to the drive, pulled it when it went for reboot and placed it back in the DFI rig. Now it comes up with a 'Windows has shut down this operation to prevent windows from damaging system components message when I try to boot it up. /shrug
Will this not boot from an SATA drive? My Gigabyte K8 Board did just fine.
Thanx in advance...
