Project of the Day : New Computer

It's giving me a headache installing my OS. Halts after loading files and giving me the starting up message. I'm tired and ready to hit the sack soon. I've tried lots of options insisting it can't possibly be a bad install disc, but that may be the case. I have a few onboard video bios options I can still try, but it ain't going anywhere. I'll get her tomorrow.

make sure you have the latest bios flashed to your mainboard and try stripping it to the bare essentials and install the os then add all the other drives and cards and such.

also if its your install disc you can download a new one since you own a key.

Yep - I would disconnect all of the hard drives, except your main "c" drive. Reconnect them after the OS is installed.
