Problem With Computer HELLLLLPPPP!!!!

KGB_operative · Jan 3, 2006, 06:48 PM

I just bought a new computer, and for some reason it won't go past the IRQ screen at boot up.

I have the following parts

1xAmd athlon 64 4200 dual core
A8n-sli deluxe
2x512 ultra ddr3200
1x300gb seagate hdd
Ultra x-finity 600watt psu
ATI Radeon 7000 64mb (for now i intend to upgrade to
Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX)
Hp lightscribe dual-layer dvd burner
Win Xp pro x64
Wireless card

I have tried removing the wifi card, Removing internal firewire, audio, and usb ports, But still the same Problem. Does anyone know of a way to fix this problem? Oh yeah, on them irq list, on the bottom right of the list it just says ACPI and its irq setting. Please Help

Thanx

Sounds like a hdd problem.

Is this a brand new hdd in your system or has it been used on another machine previously? Is it a SATA drive?
Have you tried to boot with a windows cd in the cd-rom drive?

EDIT: should have asked if you've tried to boot it with the hdd disconnected. If so does it do anything differently?

Everything brand new. And no. My Father tried putting the ribbon cable on and accidentally bent a pin. He put it back and it seemed to work. I have formatted the dirve and installed win xp x64

So its since the OS was installed that the fault occured?
