Spent about..roughly four hours clicking everything into place. Lit er up..she spun then died...then spun to life once more, i had given my creation life. Pleasing as it was, I was unaware of the trouble to come. I then installed WinXP, first time around she did a disk read error. Second time around the OS was installed and wanted to restart, GREAT! Now comes the dilema. The computer will start up...go past the energy logo and onto a screen with two boxes and below it more info. At which point she'll restart again...and again.....and quite a few more times just for kicks. I am unable to get to the WinXP logo or into regular windows itself. Any thoughts perhaps as to why WinXP dosn't want to creak to life? Perhaps something plugged in wrong? I'm thinking maybe memory compatabily? I bought the DS3/E6300/Corsair 1g. I'm at work right now and about to d/l updated bios into a disk but if thats not the problem, any thoughts as to what else i can try...other then kicking my darling PC.
