Greetings All! This is my first time posting here! I have, as my title says, an interesting problem. I have built my pc with a 700mHz Athlon Thunderbird, DFI motherboard (model AK-74) and generic PC133 128mb of RAM. When I try to load any type of operating system, such as windows 98/nt/2000, or linux the system freezes. However, when in the system BIOS it doesn't freeze. Anybody have any ideas on what it could be? Any help at all is REALLY appreciated. Thanks to everyone in advance!
