Can anyone help ?
I have just built a machine :
Gigabyte GA-7VT600 mobo,
AMD 2800
Radeon 9200 128Mb
1gb RAM
120GB SATA drive
WinXP
After a few days of playing with the SATA drive fiasco I have managed to get that going, but there is a more annoying problem.
When I start the computer from scratch there is no problems the mobo beeps once to confirm a successfull POST and it boots to XP in less than 10 seconds, however when I attempt a restart the computer shuts down then doesn't seem to start up again, the DVD does its checks etc, but the monitor goes to sleep and everything just sits there. If I turn it off, then restart it it works fine. It isn't a windows thing as making a change in the BIOS settings also causes a restart with the same problem. Each time I have to turn off the machine and restart.
