I built a new pc last week and it was working great. Then I came home and tried to power up the pc. It powered for about half a second and shut off. Thought it was the power supply. I opened it up, re-did all the connections and it booted up but then I got a operating system error. I took out that hard drive Maxter (IDE) and installed a western digital (IDE). Then I got a cmos checksum error. I reset the cmos on the mobo and started fresh. Just the mobo, prosesser, one stick of ram, and the video card. booted up fine. Then I connected the dvd-rom drive and the hard drive. I got the cmos checksum error again. Went into the bios and set boot device as dvd-rom then hard drive. I Saved the settings and when I reboot everything seems fine until I get the detecting array screen and it stops there. I dont have any raid devices and the raid setting in the bios is disabled. I dont understand how it could be working fine for a week then just go to crap. Can someone please help me, it would be much appreciated.

id say it could be a fault Motherboard thats where i would start if its still under warranty which it should be since its only what sounds like 2-3 weeks old call the MOBO man. number and talk to customer service and get a replacement and say you dont want the same one fixed but a brand new one.

Raid is disabled, someone said it might by the power supply that started all this trouble.
