Hey there guys, new guy here :D, i really need your help and advice , THIS SH...T IS DRIVING ME CRAZY!!!!!!. I just asemble a custom computer, here is my config(everything is new)

Motherboard: Biostar TH55B HD Version 6.1
CPU: i3 530 2.93 GHz
Power Supply 550w
Memory: Centon R1600PC2048 2048MB PC12800 DDR3 - 1600MHz, 1x2048MB.

Ok i will go in order of how my problem began

1- I bout with all this a brand new EVGA 01G-P3-1236-LR GeForce GT 240 Video Card - 1024MB DDR3, PCI-Express 2.0, . After put everything together and install windows xp i put this video card on the motherboard and when i restart the system windows xp star to freeze in the mdos part. Even when I have video the computer keep doing this.

2- I decided to replace the video card with another one exacly the same in case, i thougth that it will be a defective card. Install the new one back and nothing... same problem :dunno:. All this time the computer has been perfectly working without the PCI Express Cards using the onboard video.

3- Ok, i decide that could be that the motherboard have issues with the pCI express slot so i go and get a new one, exacly the same. I did all the process of asembling and instalation again and guest what?, same issue again.

4- I update the bios(nothing), install all the drivers up to date(nothing) check for something that forget to plug(nothing), run a aplication that can check for memory errors or problems(nothing). Finally i decided to grap my video card and get another brand(guys from the computer store at this point they allready hate me) that will be my 3 exchange in the day and i get a BFG Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT 512 mb ddr3 and NOTHING, SAME PROBLEM.

5- I have no clue what is going on with my computer, the only thing that i haven't replace is the memory. I been doing this for years with all my PC's and friends PC's and i never see this issue. ALL THE SUGESTIONS ARE WELCOME, PLZ GUYS A HAND HERE, AND DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY ENGLISH CAUSE IS NOT MY FIRTS LANGUAGE
 
Look in the bios and see if it has a setting to what video to look for when booting. Some have onboard/PEG/PCI. Set it to PEG

Thanks for the respond man. ok i found in the bios where to change this but i have 5 diferents mods

- IGD
- PEG/PCI(by defect)
- PCI/PEG
- PEG/IGD
- PCI/IGD

I allready tried diferent setups but nothing :confused:, according to this IGD stan for Internal Graphics Device. PCI/IGD setup just give me the VGA onboard signal, any sugestion :confused::confused:.
