Poll: Please Help.. System unstable

[Ajai]

Hi guys... I really need some help on this. Here is my PC Config
Abit KT7A-RAID M/B
AMD 1000MHz 133FSB CPU
IBM 40G 7200rpm Hard Disj
Toshiba 512MB PC133 Memory ( 2x 256 )
Winfast Geforce2 PRO 64MB Video Card
SB LIVE! Sound Card
3Com Ethernet Card
Sony DVDROM and Creative 121032 CDRW

The problem is when everytime that I restart my PC, it will come up with BIOS ERROR and looking for a disk in A drive ( floppy drive ) or no display. I need to shut up the PC by press the power button or unplug the power cord for 5 seconds and plug it back, then it will work. The most important thing is I cannot set 4X AGP mode for my video card cause the RA3 ( Rocket Arena ) game will close automatically when I run in 4X mode but not in 2X mode.
I did try to update the lastest BIOS'Drivers for my M/B and Video Card but it didn't help. I really want to know how to solve this problem cause this really given me a headache. I don't want to wait like 10 mins to boot up my PC if I press restart button. One more thing, if I did some change under the BIOS, when I click SAVE and EXIT, it wont boot up. The only thing I can think of is from the M/B. A poor guy is waiting for help. Thanks guys and I hope you guys have a great day.

well i'll give you whatever advice i can offer. First off, abit and sound blaster do not get along. Make sure you have the latest bios flash and have disabled delay transaction and set the pci master bus timeout to at least one. for trouble shooting purposes, rip the soundcard from the system for a while. As a matter of fact, set all your bios settings as stable as possible, then chunk that floppy all together, if it boots it's obviously the floppy. Turn off boot up floppy seek, set the first boot device to HDD or cdrom, and see if the message changes. You might also wanna turn off fdd controller. If this solves you problem, then it's probably as simple as your IDE on the floppy is backwards or orientated w/the wrong pin in pin hole one. (oh yeah, if your OC'd, you should put it back to standard speed)
