Horrible boot issue. Can't even get into safe mode/past bios
Hello,
I'll try to make this short but it's complicated:
Recently, my computer died. After it died, it would turn on for a few seconds then off, turn on for a few seconds then off...(keeps repeating)
After some troubleshooting I decided it was the mobo so I replaced it with a similar board. LG1366 SuperMicro MBD-X8SAX-O to fit triple channel ram and my i7-930 processor. Put all my parts in then the computer finally booted. I am able now to get into bios, but when the computer tries to boot windows, it is ULTRA SLOW and stays stuck at "Windows is loading" screen.
I then tried to boot from a Windows 7 CD but it won't even let me get that far. I also tried Hiren's Boot CD (Hiren's BootCD Fan & Discussion Platform) and boot mini windows XP from the CD...STILL could not get past the windows loading screen. F8 didn't work at all for any of the CDs to get into safe mode or anything. Can't get that far.
If there's a way to change the Mobo to expect 3 sticks of ram [perhaps that's the WMD message?] then I don't know how on this bios. I really need help...badly. So far I can only get into bios and i navigated but couldn't do much.
Here's a picture of where it's stuck:
And a Pic of the WMD Info:
My Desktop:
3x2GB Sticks of Corsair 2048MB 1600MHz ram. 1.65V ver3.2
SuperMicro MBD-X8SAX-O Mobo [new one]
i7-930 processor
850Watt Power Supply
2x ATI Radeon 5770 crossfired graphics cards
80GB solid state HD + Windows 7 Pro [OS is on this one]
1TB Storage HDD
Both drives are pretty full but i don't think that should stop it from booting...PLEASE HELP!
