About a week ago, I purchased components for my upgrade which was;
ASUS M2N32-SLI motherboard
AMD AM2 Athlon 4600 (2.41GHz)
2GB Twin Corsair RAM PC2-6400
250GB Seagate Barracuda HDD SATA II
CD ROM Drive - Cable Select - On the same IDE cable as the DVD R/RW
DVD R/RW - Cable Select
Magna 600w PSU 12V (17A)
After I built my upgrade, then I switched on, I noticed my computer taking a while to boot up like when you see XP's blue loading bar going across, it does that for a few minutes and when I am finally on, I noticed when I inserted a game into my CD ROM drive, it loaded it up ok, no problems but when I insert my Motherboard support CD that came with my ASUS board, I wait for a few seconds to give it a chance to load up then when it loads, it sounds like it's spinning then when it spins and gets faster it just drops then I can hear it spinning a gain a little more then I can hear little clicks coming from the CD ROM drive too and the process just keeps repeating. If I load it up in My Computer (for some strange reason, I have 2x CD Drive, one is letter D and the other is E for some odd reason). But if I try and load up the CD by going into My Computer, and double click on the drive, nothing happens then then after a few seconds, my computer just freezes and says "not responding". If I take out the CD, it is then ok and a box pops up saying please insert CD into drive. Weird laugh:
Hope you understood my perfect English
