hi there,
hoping someone can help.
just purchased this mainboard and the following to make a HTPC
amd 64 2850e 2.5GHz
Corsair 4GB Kit (2x2GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 XMS2 Memory Non-ECC Unbuffered CL5(5-5-5-18) Heat Spreader Lifetime Warranty
WD green power 750GB SATA drive
antec fusion case
seasonic 380 80+ PSU
vista ulitmate 64 bit OEM
LG blu-ray HD-DVD
so, plugged it all in, turned it on, with vista in the CD bay
it booted, said your sata is running in IDE mode, so changed that
then booted again, got the vista is installing bar across (windows is loading files) the botom of the screen. that completed ok, then got the little green vista loading bar even managed to get a mouse icon (with egg timer) on a vista style background, but then.... it locks up, and that is that
any thoughts/ideas ?
btw the board is rev 1.1
many thanks (in advance hopefully :) )
nat
ps. changed the SATA mode back to IDE, still same problem... :(
