    Hello all,

    I just bought and installed a DFI Lanparty NF4 Ultra D Mobo, and an AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor. (note-I've done this a dozen times before with no problems)
    I also installed a 400w power supply to accomodate the new hardware. Now, when I boot, it IMMEDIATELY shows me the "Lanparty" boot skin, and doesn't do anything unless I press the Tab key. When I press the Tab key, it takes me to the beginning of POST, where it freezes while detecting IDE drives. If I press Cntrl/Alt/Delete, it restarts and does it all over again. I have 1 IDE drive, with a windows installation on it, and a SATA drive with a windows installation on it. Any ideas on what is going on? Thanks for any help! Merry Christmas!

    Matthew
