XFX 750i - Help

Forum Motherboards & Memory : Tyan XFX 750i - Help

Word :    Username :           
 

Hey i just set up a computer today and am having troubles.

Once I got everything together i started the boot up process, loaded my windows xp disc and started the installation.

I let it go, went upstairs for some dinner. When I returned a single underscore was blinking on the top left corner. Im really confused.

I went to reboot and when i did, the XFX motherboard logo shows and then it goes straight to the blinking underscore.

There is also a new beep noise the mobo makes. After the regular beep sounds, another shorter, lighter beep goes for a split second.

Any help would be great, thanks.
