I've done this before but it has been a few years since I've built my own PC or even kept up with the technology. I read up a lot on the new components out there and decided this was to be my new setup (my question/problem will be posted after the specs).
Asus p6t deluxe lga intel x58
intel 920 (core i7)
thermaltake w0116ru 750w
WD caviar black 640gb
LG Liteon DVD drive (everything)
Corsair 6gb (3x2gb) 240 pin triple channel ram pc3 10666 ddr3 1333
MSI 9600GT 512mb
Creative Audigy fat1lity titanium
Everything installed into the case and mobo with no issues. Everything from what I have read appears to be perfectly compatible also.
Heres the problem:
I've just setup the BIOS but I'm trying to install my new Windows XP Pro (SP2) with a CD but it won't ever bot up. Should I be pressing any specific function keys at any particular time?
Also, i was able to get to the windows boot screen ONCE (only once) and it was the first time I tried installing the OS (have tried to install several times after but have failed to even boot it up all other times).When it was booting it went through the typical load processes and before I could even get to the part where I partition my hard drive it told me that it had failed and stopped to prevent something from happening. It was a blue screen obviously and it said to check all hardware for compatibility issues and things like that (typical response I assume).
Whenever I try and boot it up now it just sits at a dark black screen completely unresponsive to any key entries (a white blinking cursor is the only thing present).
I have checked all my cabling and everything seems to be in order hardware wise in the PC but I just don't know how to proceed from here. Any and all help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance.
