Recently just bought the following...
-Intel Pentium 4 650 Prescott 3.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80547PG3400
-GIGABYTE GA-8I865GME-775-RH-AS LGA 775 Intel 865G Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
-A-DATA V-Series 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit
-GIGABYTE GH-WPBV1 VGA liquid Cooling
-550watt PSU
-nvidia 7600GT video card
-APEVIA X-Plorer ATXB8KLW-BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
While putting the processor and heat sink on i bent a few pins on the mobo and the computer would not turn on obviously. Now i straighted out all of the pins with a needle and got everything working. It will not allow me to install XP or Vista they both freeze up, the XP install freezes up on the "Starting Windows" alert after it loads all of the drivers. Vista freezes on the First screen with the Background. In the begning when i first got it to boot up it took extremely long recognizing my cdrom,HDD,and dvd rom, now it does it very quickly. Ive tried everything i can think of does anyone have any thoughts or ideas on how to fix this, or do you think bending the pins on the mobo for the cpu has something to do with this? thanks in advance.
**Edit** ive also swapped out the ram, and nothing changed.
