IRQ problem, perhaps...HELP

Well, I built my first computer ever and I have everything installed. However, whenb I boot, it shows the intial screen, telling me to press delete to get into Bios, and telling me my IDE devices, yadda, yadda, yadda. Then it gives me a blank screen witha little DOS cursor. My handy-dandy DLED on my K7T pro2 mobo says that the code it shows means "assigning IRQs to PCI devices". It gives no explanation as to what it might be if it hangs there like that, except 3 asterisks that mean the motherboard might be damaged. However, I am optomisitic, because according to the DLED decoder, assingning IRQs to PCI devices is the last step before the operating system boots, therefore it has done a lot of stuff already that it wouldn't be able to do if it was damaged. Also, it got past this step fine before I put in the hard drive, cdrom and pci devices(SB live and ethernet card) Any ideas on what my problem is/what I should do? Thanks.
 
The DLED code also means that it's trying to boot up. Has anyone used an old hard drive in a new system before? Can anyone help?
