Hi, newbie to the group here. I just put together a new system and am seeing a odd problem.

 

Everything except the HDD is new

Asus K8N-E board

1 GB Ram

ATI video card (AGP)

Seagate 40Gb EIDE drive ( previously used)

Sony DVD/CD

WinXP pro in DVD drive

pre-booted and changed setup to 'boot from DVD'

boots from DVD - ok

Problem - loads drivers up to point where it says loading NTFS file system, then black screen, system restarts...

On first pass, I found the HDD cable wasn't seated ok, but even after this was corrected, it does it consistantly... any suggestions?

 

thx
