did you upgrade you bios? try rebooting with the dvd in and either safe boot, or boot into bios.

If you cant do either then we are going to have to start pulling hardware off. I would start with just 1-2 gigs of memory installed.

if you have settings for max memory, max cpu, or legacy floopy support all 3 should be unchecked, then you want to look at acpi.

So, I tried to load optimized defaults in the bios, change almost every setting in the bios I could think of changing, tried clearing CMOS, tried taking out the 4870x2 and running off the integrated. Maybe it's the hard drive? Was running windows 7 fine, decided to activate it, restarted, then it wouldn't boot.

In looking around on the Internet, it appears this is a HD problem, or at least HD related (BIOS interaction with HD also causes it.)

Here's a couple of links with some suggested steps -

Sorry I can't be much more help.

Home LAN through Linksys hub to 4 port and wireless switch/router. Networked HP 2600n. Wife's computer running Windows 7, and spare laptop running Ubuntu "Karmic Kola" (9.10).
Ok, so I tried the hard drive in another computer and it works fine, so it's not that. My cpu and memory is not overclocked, my gpu is overclocked but I tried taking that out and running off the integrated video and get the same thing.
