ok I bought a ECS A780GM-A motheboard, an AMD 2.5 quad core black edition, and 2x2048mb sticks patriot ram, I have it all together and what it doing is, the motherboard only has 1 IDE slot so I just have 1 200gb hard drive and my dvd burner now when I go to install windows xp home it gets the the screen to install press enter of repair press r when you press the key the computer restarts, now when I plug in my 2nd hard drives that had windows xp home on it it come up with start in safe mode etc when you click any of the different modes the computer restarts, one has told me that I have to do the clock speeds and voltage, all the setting for the ram (patriot viper ram) now I am a newbie with the bios stuff
