Can you get into the BIOS?
What BIOS version have you got as the e6850 wasnt supported till "F4"
Do you have CPU power plugged in (4/8pin connector)
Is the Heatsink secure (i mean firm no movement)
After all this try booting machine with only CPU, RAM and GPU

chookman is right try CPU RAM GPU only, ive had a similar problem before but with a different gigabyte motherboard try resetting the BIOS if it gets as far as listing all devices then its more than likely a IDE/SATA problem than a CPU/RAM error seing as its atleast tryying to POST.
yea i tried just gpu ram n video . i qflashed to f6 same problem . unplugged hdd same stop. it stops afterthe gigabyte logo where it lists the usb stuff ill try to get a pic .it tells my primary hdd at the top. its reading my drives but just holds at that screen . i took everything apart and made sure everything was secure . only have one stick of ram in . cleared cmos any times . any suggestions would help
are you saying if you have a copy of windows 2000, xp, vista CD in the DVD-RW drive, and select first boot device to CD/DVD, it wont boot from there either?
You don't have by any chance a way to test the components individually... My guess would be the mobo, although just power incompatibilities between board and graphics, or just a plain old style PSU failure on some rails.
ok so i changed it to read Ahci mode n now it boots the hdd but restarts while its at the windows logo.any suggestions from here . and is there anything wrong wih using the ahci??
