ASUS Black IDE DVD-ROM Drive Model DVD-E616A
We are now able to get to the bios screen, but we can't get boot to cdrom and install operating system. It checks the IDE drives and finds both dvd rom drives. Then, it says "Bootable CDROM detected", and it switches to a totally blank screen with blinking line at top left corner and does nothing else. Can't even try to type in a drive letter or anything. Tried both dvd roms, tried a few different bios settings, have never had this problem. ??? Please help.
Also, we're noticing that the power seems to be "fluctuating". The case's bright blue lights flicker about every 5 to 10 seconds like the power's hitting a hiccup or something, but that doesn't seem to affect the boot process as everything continues smoothly up until the point where nothing happens. Is 400 watt PS not enough for p4 3ghz?
Super appreciate any advice anyone might have.
Thanks a bunch.
