    Default Blue Screen issue, new machine

    My build is in the last post of this thread: http://www.onrpg.com/boards/145091.html

    I just put this computer together this afternoon, plugged it in, and boom bluescreen.

    I checked the BIOS, both of my IDE hard drives are showing up and the new SATA drive is showing up.

    Right before it blue screens, the monitor says that no hard disk detected.

    Ideas?

    go to your bios, make it so that when it does blue screen it doesn't automatically restart. When it blue screen's, copy the error message or code that appears and google it.

    Check the BIOS if your HDD is detected.
    Check if the cables are pushed in properly.

    I should update this but all my effort went into writing this lousy excuse.

    The error is 0x0000007B which from Google is an inaccessable boot drive.

    Before I moved the hard drives over from my old computer, they were running fine and had no issues. Unsure what is causing the issue.

    All of the drives show up in BIOS. But when it is going through its startup I get the error:
    Adapter 1:
    Disk Information:
    No Hard Disk Detected

    It will then go to the Windows Logo and blue screen there.

    So you have 2 IDE drives and 1 SATA? I would maybe try booting your computer with just 1 plugged in at a time to see what the culript is.

    Yes, 2 IDE drives (from original computer) and a new SATA drive.

    One of the IDE drives is the boot drive, and the second was a storage drive. Both were working from the old machine. I'm about to replace them in the original PC to see if there are still any other problems.

    Is the BIOS installed on the hard drive itself? Or does it get stored on the MB somehow? I was thinking, could there be some sort of argument going on with the original MB BIOS and this new BIOS from the new MB? Mmm accronyms.

    BIOS is on the motherboard only

    When you first boot up, go into BIOS and then tell your computer not to boot anything except the primary hard drive. See if that works.
