Yeah even if I use the cord that provides power to the disc drive fine, it wont power/setect the drive. The minute I hook it up to a separate power sopply, it gets detected just. Either way, Im ordering a new power supply tonight and will rebuild once it comes in and see where I am.

If I put in the Radeon 6850 wouldn't I not be able to get it to run because i need to install the drivers? Which isn't possible unless I can into an OS to run the install disc? Or would I be able to run it anyways if i switch the BIOS to try going through the Radeon instead of the on-board...

Here's the thread I had up: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/38804-63-cannot-install-reboot-loop#t165546 If it's not a compatability problem, i would have to say it's the MB, and it needs replacing. I could be wrong, but I see very few other scenarios.

So I tried booting Ubuntu and it does the same thing as when I tried to install vista and linux, I get to the initial screen, it waits a few seconds, then my monitor goes into sleep mode for no reason. I don't understand why almost everything I boot puts my monitor into sleep mode.

I built my own custom PC through parts I ordered from newegg last week. Putting the computer together was surprisingly the easy part, while installing a windows OS has been ridiculous. I tried installing windows xp for a few days after running into 0x7b bsod errors, finally getting it to the...
