Howdy,
A mate at uni has just built this system, however he cant get it to boot. We have tried swapping the hdd's over and booting off IDE rather than the SATAII drive.....but no luck. We think its the motherboard thats funked....but we'r not sure. When we were using the IDE hdd, we got to the black screen just before the splash loading screen for windows xp pro, but with the SATAII drive we got to the splash screen, then crashing. There are no indications on any BSOD about what could be wrong with the system. The system is as following:
Venice 3500
512mb Crucial DDR 400
inno3d geforce 7600GS
hard drive 1:Western Digital Caviar 160gig SATAII
hard drive 2:Western Digital 40 gig IDE
Jeantech 430watt psu
