hi again i just pulled the psu out of the comp i am using now to use with the asus comp and it made no differance. this psu is 400w. can anyone think of anything else? just so u know it gets up to the screen after the quick self check and it frezzes at the screen where it tells u that the different stuff( ie pci) irq is set at. just thoought id ad this info to see if it helped with analysis.

Did you reset the bios by taking out the battery for half an hour? Then you need to go into bios and load defaults then set cd as first boot device.
