It starts at 800mhz and if I try to put it at any other speed not even overlocked, when it restarts i get long beep every 5seconds. I use the memory in my sig with dfii infinity and xp-mobile 2600+

I found out it happens whenever I change memory settings i dont know why. I tried to put the timings a bit looser and after i saved i got the same beeps. Another question I have i started the install of winxp and after formatting and copying the files it restarts but it wont boot from the hard drive.

What bios are you on? Also, how loose? Some boards don't like cas3 with certain memory & such......many possibilities.

Like Oni said, what is primary boot device. Should be hdd-0. You may want to head over to www.dfi-street.com/forum/ & search around there. There has been known problems with some hard drives.
