hi I have just put together some new bits

asus kn8-e and x1800Xt into rig in sig. every thing was fine, but i reformatted and now when i reset/reboot it sometimes wont boot but after checking ram / drives the next screen it just hangs.

I have removed a damaged DVDrw drive and replaced ide cable but still getting this problem. Any ideas what to check next. i have no optical drive at the moment. just 1 sata + 1 ide .
 
it boots like 1 in 6 times, have to keep hitting reset swictch untill it boots.
what the hell is it , had me stumped all weekend.

both my drives are set to master.? 1 ide 1 sata booting from sata drive Xp pro

600w psu
 
it boots sometimes not got drive reinstall or anything at mo,how do i remove battery is it easy?

i have rest cmos before
 
right i had disabled the floopy drive in bios as i dont own one, I have re-enabled the floppy and it has booted 6 times in a row now. I know it doesn't make sense but it appears to can cured it. Time will tell.
