Hi
I built this new system on Gigabyte Mobo with AMD Athlon
2600+ last week. Installed XP with no issues. I have two
IDE 0 and 1 where I have connected my two HDDs and
DVD/CDRWs with 768 MB of DDR RAM.

The problem I am facing now is that while booting XP will
hang after it displays the Win XP logo. I need to switch
off and if I on again it starts up well in Safe or even
Normal mode !
I am able to use it with no problem till shuts it down
and restarts later. I would really appreciate if any one
can help me here.

BTW I checked the Event viewer and I got the following 2
errors.

"The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not respond within
the timeout period.For more information, see Help and
Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."


"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D
during a paging operation.For more information, see Help
and Support Center at
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp."
 
What wattage rating is your Power Supply and is it a name brand?
Antec, Enermax etc.

You might give this a try....In the BIOS under advanced BIOS settings,
there should be an entry called: Delay for HDD (0). Up the zero
a few seconds and see what happens.
good luck
 
Thanks Rich. My PS is an Antec 350W. I have two HDDs and
one HP DVD300i and a CDRW. Also I have an additional
antec systems fan. Would that be too much..?

Thanks in advance
 
Thanks Frank. I had tried this before but was not help
full. Any way I will try to make the max.. I think it's 15

Thanks though.
