Re: New build - halt on ACPI Controller

The message <fg88pk$nnl$1$8300dec7@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

these words:

OP here - just to say, problem still happening even after cmos reset. I've
uploaded a screen shot here:

http://www.dataper.demon.co.uk/misc/helpme.jpg

Nothing happens after that point in the image.

Is the mobo a gonner? It was a brand new one from dabs.com. I'm fresh out
of ideas - hope someone here can help me!

Thanks.

There are a remarkably large number of hardware adapters in that list
sharing a remarkably small number of IRQ lines. Assuming PCI Bus 0 is
the on-board stuff, and PCI Bus 1, 3 and 4 are the actual PCI slots, all
I can suggest is you try removing the RAID controller and the network
adapter (Gbit?) and see if it will get past that point. It looks as
though there might well be an IRQ sharing compatability issue with one
or more of your add in cards (which a reshuffle _might_ sort out).

I'm no expert in interpreting such POST information, but a good
approach to such POST time boot hangs is to minimise the hardware
collection to just the bare essentials (or even less!) and proceed from
there. Apologies if you've already tried this.
