Hi everyone, I've just received the components for my new PC one of them being the Asus A7N8X mobo. The problem I'm having is that I installed everything by the book the following way:
primary IDE channel dvd(cable select) & hdd(master)
secondary IDE channel cdr (slave)
With this setup only the cdr was recognized, then I set it up in this way:
primary IDE hdd(master)
secondary IDE channel dvd(master) cdr(slave)
Okay, with this setup it did recognized all my hardware, weird
. The weird thing is that when the system boots for hdd the screen gets full of 0's and 1's, the hdd is formated from another system. When I try to boot from either the dvd or cdr the system just reboots itself or (once or twice) gives a screen full of 0's and 1's. Any suggestions, I'm pretty sure everything else is hooked up alright, please HELP, I don't want to think I received a faulty mobo.
System specs:
Asus A7N8X mobo
2 x 256 2700 ddr
gainward geforce 4 ti 4200 128mb ddr
toshiba 16x dvd
liteon 48x24x48 cdr
BTW thanks in advance.
