i just built my new computer
i hooked the monster to the grafix card and the black screen said a bunch of stuff and then

verifying dmi pool data..............
could not boot, insert boot disk

so i inserted the xp disk and it said
verifying dmi pool data..............
then it launched into the windows xp installation. when it asked me about partitions i turned it off and added a couple fans directly to the psuand put the lid on the case and stood it upright.

i turned it on again and now it just says

verifying dmi pool data..............

and hangs there forever

im in tears, it thought i finally got it working
 
OK GET THIS!!!:::
i put the xp disk in and restarted. i had the hdd disconnected until it passed by the hang, then it booted xp setup. AS QUICK AS THE WIND i connected the hdd. setup loads, and detects it. it is now formatting. what do u think? i am suspicious because the keyboard seemed to stop working after i pressed f2, f9, or del to get into the bios options, boot menu, or recovery disk. it is working now through thesetup. btw, same results for 2 different keuyboards in 2 diffferent back pannel usb slots. what do u think?
 
If your getting "verifying dmi pool data, could not boot, insert boot disk" then its the power or data cable is not connected right, If your HDD is IDE then the molex connectors can sometime come loose, use pliers to close the female pins a small bit. If your hdd is SATA them again the connectors are a real pain in the bum so just make sure they are connected.

As for you keyboards, if you have tried different keyboards and in different ps2 or usb ports then i would reset the BIOS. I dont know how good your are with computers but on the motherboard you have a small 3 volt battery, somewhere around it will be a jumper the should have something like CLR_BIOS pull the jumper off and put it on the other pin, I.E if normal is pin 1+2 then put it on 2+3, leave it for about 5-6 seconds and put it back. Once done, put power cable in and start up and go into the BIOS
It's always a good idea the take a note of ALL BIOS setting before do this, but if you get a setting wrong it wont blow up your computer, just dont touch the CPU settings.

Hope this Helps
 
update:
ok ive been working on this all day. the computer seems fickle. sometimes i am able to do what i want, and sometimes not. i used to not be able to select any of the options in the bios, boot order menys, but now i can for the most part. i am using the correct memory cpu and fsb timings multipliers speeds and voltages. i goofed around in the bios and finally got it to boot up a different way. it now sasys windows could not start because of a computer disk hardware configuration problem. could not read from the selected boot disk (cdrom). im going to try the same trick i tried before with a different version of windows xp, but i am unhopeful and need ur input.
 
do you need to install drivers for your hard disk? sometimes sata harddrives are picky with booting.
