Heya first post on these forums but from what I understand is you guys help out better than most.
I just bought a new ABIT MOBO and installation was fine I put my new thermal pipe heatsink in reconnected all my hardware booted up and would'nt ya know it? my comp starts yelling at me. Im sure you've heard the scream of pain once and a while after installing new parts. Fixed this issue through BIOS ops but then it wouldnt recognize my harddrive for some reason.... Got that fixed up but now I every time I try to boot up I get to the windows loading screen and the screen turns black and my comp screams in pain once again! the motherboard description says it was built for networking, Im sitting it in a Server tower with 1.6+ g DDR Mem, My power supply is quite enough but my two questions are here. My hard drives are a bit old, still working fine but kinda old compared to this new MOBO. Q 2 the motherboard is SATA compatible, would this make a difference? should I get a SATA compatible Hard drive?
