I need some suggestions on issues with my new (first build).

Motherboard - ASUS M3N78-VM
CPU - AMD Phenom 9500 socket AM2+
P/S - Diablotek 550w
RAM - 4GB Kingston DDR2 @ 800MHz
SATA 250MB Seagate HDD & SATA Optical drive
plus my old ATA 80MB HDD & DVD drive

Everything runs and appears compatible so I think there are some settings that need correcting.

My issues are:

1)
The system defaults to the ATA HDD which is good; but I get the BSD and it tries to reboot in an endless cycle. The HDD has the O/S (Windows XP Pro) and all my program data that I want to use. I hate to have to reinstall it all. When I set the boot sequence manually to the SATA HDD it will boot up and read all the data on the ATA drive no prob. I could live with booting to the SATA if I could transfer the rest of my data to it intact but at each boot it defaults back to the ATA again.

2)
When I scroll down the monitor sreen I get a wawe or ripple effect instead of the previous smooth move down.

I can't figure what settings to adjust to overcome these issues. I am pretty good at building it ...it's just making it work that's a challenge!!!

Any Words of Wisdom from the Addicts out there? (You know who you are!)

Thanks for your thoughts.
