Post code 6d

[welchj]

I had a new build running stable for about 2 hours and then when I was installing some software it rebooted and now it gets stuck at the logo screen. This screen is before I can even access the bios, the LED reads 6d.

Epox MF570SLI
AMD 5200+ X2
7900GS
320 GB Maxtor
NEC DVDR
2 X 1gb Crucial ram

I have disconnected the power for 10 minutes, unpluged the cdrom, unplugged the hd, and still hangs on the same code. Any ideas on what the error code means or suggestions to correct the problem? Thanks for your help.

What does this mean for me?

I replaced the sata cord and am now able to get into bios. I disabled boot other devices and seek floppy. Not quite sure how are why a sata cable would go bad instantaneously...
