800 Duron + K7T-Pro2a problem or is it me?

[idkjs]

I just replaced my MS 6195 MB and K7 athlon 500@800 cpu with a K7t-Pro2a and 800 Duron. I have two
problems. Every now and then on boot it will hang on a black screen and according to the LED's
it is " PROCCESSOR INITIALIZATION ". I have not overclocked it or changed anything in bios ( other than setting the ram and other standard things ).
The second is I have noticed something else that seems odd.
On the last screen before the desktop launches the last line reads:
VERIFYING DMI POOL DATA
BOOT FROM ATAPI CD-ROM: FAILURE
I have no idea what that is about because I have the BIOS set as
1st boot= floppy 2nd boot= cd-rom 3rd boot = IDEO. At least that is the way I have always done it and have
never seen that message
Anyone have this problem or suggestions as to what to look for.

Thanks from a first time poster

You can try reseating the processor, and checking that the HSF is sitting correctly on top of the CPU.

try to put your 2nd boot to IDE

i think that is the problem
