Asrock P4 combo board, installed a new LGA775 P4 3.06Ghz HT processor, computer fails to boot, post, display... and constant disk read error upon *any* secondary device being installed on either IDE port
MY computer does nothing other than fans on when i push the button.... now this is in NO WAY the first CPU i have built, this is just the first time i have ever encountered this problem, unless i could easily determine if it were a bad stick of ram or processor...
this is not the case. there is no post and no display... thats the priority here... the disk read error is of no concern ATM just merely a symptom
sure have... but thats not the major problem...

According to the Asrock site, the CPU you chose should work in your board. You are going to have to check the jumper settings, (see the manual page 11) jumpers J1,J2,J3,J4,J5,J6,J8,J9,J10,J11,J12,J13,J18,J21 only. You indicated that you also changed J7,J14,J15,J16,J17,J19,and J20 since your statement was "i looked at the manual and changed the jumper settings from J1-J21"
Also make sure you do not have a jumper block on the CLR CMOS down near the battery. If you left a jumper on, it will not boot
Also, make sure you installed the CPU correctly and did not accidentally bend a pin on the underside. see 2.2 on page 12 Installing the 775.
Disk read error indicates your hard drive has failed. You will have to take it in for service to have a new hard drive installed, or perform the repair yourself.
Goto http://www.hp.com/#Support > download drivers and software > enter pc model number and search select the os you will find BIOS Family Processor Microcode Update click on that link ; you will find the installation instruction and download file
You'll have to get yourself a BIOS flash utility. There are some simple, good boot disks for that here: http://www.bootdisk.com/
then you'll need to boot to that disk (not into Windows), and run the flash utility provided at the previous link. Once your BIOS has updated itself, you should be good to go.
This is a known issue with early BIOS revisions of your board.

Well... I have tried that already... and I can in no way believe that, 5 seperate sticks of ram are bad...
Any other ideas?
