THanks all who helped me through my last little problem...now onto the next...lol
I just got my system working perfectly However, when trying to boot it up again, the system runs through the POST check (single beep heard as normal) and the motherboard logo (and "press Del to go to Setup") shows up. Then that disappears and a DOS style display shows the hardware installed e.g
Diskette Drive A: Disables
Pri Master Disk: CD-RW,ATA33
First SATA Master Disk: LBA,SATA 1, 120GB
PCI Device listing...
etc
The last PCI device shows up as the ACPI Controller on IRQ 9. This is normal.
However, after this, nothing happens. This screen stays and there is a blinking underscore _ character bottom left of the screen. Windows does not boot.
The system is an AMD Athlon64 X2 4400 with 1GB of RAM. It has Win XP Pro x64 Edition installed on the SATA disk.
I have no idea what is causing the boot process to halt at this point - POST seems to be returning nothing and as far as I'm aware, there are no hardware issues. What could be causing this how do I fix it?
