so we got all the parts for my buddys computer and assembled it this afternoon. everything is wired right, all lights, fans, hard drives blah blah blah turn on/spin. the monitor will blink an intel "logo show" and then it cant do anything because there is no operating system. so if i try installing xp 64 bit, it gets to the part where the words scroll at the bottom, then get to installing operating system and the whole machine shuts down. ubuntu does the same thing. this machine is an core 2 duo 6400 with a 945g intel board and 1 gig dual channel 1.9v 800mhz xms corsair memory and a radeon x800 pci-e card. the hard disk is a 320 wd sata 3.0gb/s drive, its the first time ive delt with sata so i dunno if thats the problem. or my other guess would be to disable the onboard video ( but would that be a big enough of an issue to restart a system like that?
hopefully by the weekend we'll have an xp pro disc 32 bit.
but we need to get it doing somthing because his dad will be p/o'ed if his 900 dollar box isnt working....
