The Logic Off Topic list

check you have the hard drive set as master on the first IDE bus (usually
marked as IDE0 )

make the BIOS automatically detect the drives

make sure the memory is seated properly and shows up in the BIOS, also that
the timing for the memory is set correctly

good luck

Subject: [L-OT] Computer Build Problem


>   Hello!! I recently upgraded my p.c. for a better recording system. I
decided to take the parts from my old p.c. and build an internet p.c. When I
constructed my p.c. (this is the first time I have done this) I get this
error when I try to boot up the p.c. "System Hardware Abnormal Press Any Key
To Continue". Does anybody know what this means? This happens as soon as I
turn the p.c. on, before Windows loads. If I press any key to continue, I
get a blue screen saying that it stopped Windows from loading to prevent
damage....
>   The Motherboard is a MSI 6163 with a P 3 450, 192mb ram. I got a used cd
rom, floppy drive for it. A friend also gave me a 9 gig Western Digital 5200
Cavair drive. As far as I know I have everything hooked up correctly and I
don't know where to start. Can anyone offer me any advice? Thnaks!!
