Try running one RAM module in slot 1 and try it again.

Is the BIOS recognizing your hardrive?
Is it a new hardrive?
Are the Primary and Secondary IDE's enabled in the CMOS setup?
Have you tried clearing the CMOS, resetting the date and time, and applying setup defaults?
Are you sure the Bootdisk is good?
What size is the hardrive?

It would help if you listed your specs but for now, just run the Video Card with no other PCI cards in the machine.

Spec:
XP2500+
Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Hardrive 30Gb Western Digi. X 1
Leadtek Ti4200 64Mb 4X

i used to have A7N8X-X, didn't have a problem.
The harddrive is old, the BIOs recognised the harddrive.

Trying loading setup defaults....
It work! Why?

I think the only thing that I have changed was FSB, cause the Bios recognised it as XP1100.
And few other minor thing...but can't remember

So is your problem solved?


Sometimes the M/B comes from the factory pretested, and settings preset, and it just needs to be cleared, to reset what the M/B already thinks its looking for in the machine, and let it look for different hardware.

Everything is working fine.

I followed ur advice of using the BIOS default, and it did work.

The only thing so far I have to changed is the FSB to 166. the default is 100, it didn't detect my XP2500+
