so i just replaced my fathers old fried 700 mhz pentium III and motherboard with a MAINBOARD K8VGA-M motherboard and an AMD 64 3000+...everything seemed to click into place just right. i go to turn it on and everything seems to go okay, untill it just stops moving after the first screen and all it says is


[CENTER]BIOSTAR[/CENTER]
[CENTER](cool swirley script)[/CENTER]

and thats all, no boot prompt no setup menu, nothing, and it just sits there making good ol' computer sounds. i checked the bios beep code and it says its running fine, but it wont move past that screen..oh what am i to do
 
thanks to all for what help i got...i was reallly lost, after more and more checking, it turned out the reason for the boot malfunction was old IDE cables, i replaced them and my system booted nicely,


thnx to all
