I've finally been able to get my new system to boot, but its very unstable:
It boots once every 5-7 times I try. Each other time, it gets through counting ram, then starts looking for ide devices. Usually it freezes up here, but sometimes it finds the hd, and sometimes it makes it through finding the hd, then freezes after that. And of course sometimes it boots no problem.
Also, the bios will freeze up seemingly at random.
I'm kind of afraid because the cpu temp gets as high as 64 C, and the system temp ~30C
Could this be a power supply problem? I'm using a 300W HEC-300-AT-T.
