HI folks, new here and attempting my first build in 8 years, so pls excuse any silly errors.
I am having a very strange problem with my new motherboard and I am wondering if anyone has had these problems!
New build today, all components are new except HDrive and DVD/CDRW drive, but both work fine in my old system.
Problem1
I have a 250gb seagate IDE and Toshiba DVD/CDRW IDE drives, I have attached these via IDE and checked bios to make sure IDE is enabled and when I boot I can see the Seagate as Master4 slave but no DVD/CDRW drive. I have checked the jumpers on both drives and they are set correctly, ie Seagate master and Toshiba Slave.
Problem2
When I exit the bios(original as of today) It starts to boot XP but after approx 15 seconds reboots again.
I have tried HD alone, same problem. I can get it to load vista when I go to DVD/CDRW as boot device and disconnect the hard drive, so I think the mobo/CPU/Mem/GCard are okay, any ideas anyone.
