Having been attempting a variety of things the past few days, I'm feeling more and more certain that it's a problem with my bios, or drivers. I have a CD of drivers that came with the motherboard, however cannot get into windows to load the new drivers. Any advice regarding this problem would be appreciated.
Specs:
Gigabyte GA-K8NS pro
Athlon64 3400
350W Power supply
Corsair Matched DDR400, 512M each (x2)
IBM 160G Hard Drive ATA/IDE
Plextor 708A DVD RW
Placeholder Geforce 3 (until the new x800 is available)
Windows XP Home
Now, here's the problem, when I start the computer, bios recognizes the hard drive, and the DVD player. Changing the boot order to install off the CD, the computer is able to install it on the hard drive. I have moved the HD over to another computer, and can confirm that the installation of windows has taken place.
However, when I switch the bios to boot from the hard drive first, it always hangs in the boot up sequence when it gets DMI pool data section. The processor is recognized correctly. The memory is recognized. I have tried pulling one stick out and booting, as well as switching slots.
