Boot up failure ?!

[BeZ]

Well from my previous problem, the psu died, i put in a crappier one, it died. So i bought a new thermaltake 480 watt, 550 peak. Installed that along with a new heatsink (thermaltake silentboost. So i put everything in properly and prayed the pc would turn on this time. As i hoped it did. BUT THEN, it sat there detecting the ide drives for about a minute straight...i let it. Passed that stage and then it was verifying DMI pool data (what is this? please) It was verifying this for about 3 minutes straight. Then it said nvidia boot agent with the message, No boot filename recieved...
PXE-MOF: Exiting nvidia boot agent
Boot disk failure, Insert system disk and press enter...
So i dont know what the system disk is... and i dont know why it would even say that if i did everything properly??

Did it actually detect the drives, or not detect them and then pass to the next phase of the boot process? Does your IDE LED come on and stay on, or flash on then off during the boot process?

Go into your BIOS and do an autodetect of your IDE devices, see if your computer can see them. That way you bypass the computer trying to detect them on startup.
