If you have put a Windows system disc in your dvd drive, then re boot your pc should find your cd then say press enter, but if it's stopping before you get there, an error has occured.
Did you hear 2 beeps(not together)
Go back into the bios and go into the 'standard cmos settings'
and at the bottom you will see a line saying 'halt on all errors'.
Also check that your HD drives are listed as they should be; and not an old drive, if you have changed your drive that is.
Dissable this and save settings and try booting again to your dvd drive.

- you should be able to hear beeps from your case speaker.Oct 25, 2006
- the speaker is normaly hidden in the front section of your case, you will probably see wires from the board marked speaker, it's nothing to do with sound, it's just a system speaker.
If you dissable halt on all errors it usually shows on the boot up if there are any hardware faults.Oct 25, 2006
- Is this a system you have built yourself? and this is it's first boot up.Oct 25, 2006
- You must have hard drive connected for cd to start loading files, because it will just stop, while it's trying to find hard drive.Oct 25, 2006
- I have a horrible feeling that your motherboard does not support the make of RAM you are installing, or have you used it on this board before?Oct 25, 2006
- go back into bios and check date and time in standard settings and normally pressing f10 auto identifies your hard disk(depending on your board), and make sure motherboard has identified your hard disk.
Make sure cd is in before you next boot
Listen for beeps, one a memory check, one a settings check
