Looking for some assitance
Configuration
970 extreme4 board (bios P1.60.15A)
Phenom II X4 965
CPU fan? No idea, selected the upgrade my CPU fan option at time of purchase
Gskill Ripsaw 4g DDR3 1600
Gigabyte GeForce 430 3G
Seagate Sata 1T drive
Lite on Sata CDR/DVR
Antec 500W PS
XP 32bit
typical mouse / keyboard
Issue
Just recieved and installed / all hardware purchased new. Loaded xpsp1 and proceeded to load the drivers, motherboard followed by video. Recieved error when loading "amd cpu" driver from the board cd. Do not recall if it stated "requires or suggests" sp2. Downloaded both SP2 &3 with the intention of installing sp2 then 3. Somewhere in the process of installing SP2 the system blue screened with the message "system stoppped to prevent damage to your pc" I do not recall the exact message, did notice "ntfs" on the screen prior to the system shutting down. Attempting to boot the system after shutdown resulted in the fans (cpu, case and ps) spinning up and powering off within 10 seconds. I disconnected all sata devices, attempted a second boot with the same result. Reseated video, cpu, memory, same result on next boot attempt. PC powers off priot to post display or any error messages.
Anyone aware of where to begint to troubleshoot this? Any help is much appreciated.
