Verifying DMI data pool?

I just got done putting together my first computer. Everythign was running smooth until after I turned off my computer in the windows install screen. I have the DFI NF4 Ultra-D and it gets stuck at the "Verifying DMI data pool" screen. How do I fix this?
 
Could be that your system is hanging while trying to detect something.

I have the same motherboard, and I had problems even entering the WinXP setup. For some reason, the onboard USB chip caused the setup to hang upon entry.

Try going into BIOS and changing the onboard USB to 'disabled' and then finish installing Windows. After you boot up for the first time, go back into BIOS and enable the USB (1.1 + 2.0) and then all should be fine.

Plus you'll get some practice navigating without a mouse using Tab and such 🙂
 
"Verifying DMI data pool" is just the last thing it DOES get done BEFORE getting stuck. At that point, the board is typically trying to boot an OS from mass storage. Are you using a hard disk that has been used before?
