more computer problems :(

[Joseph05]

I was helping someone rebuild their computer and when i plugged everything in it would freeze at the bios screen. I tinkered around a little bit and i could only have his wd raptor and video card plugged in to have it boot. I couldnt plug in the other 2 Hard drives and dvd burner. This is really bugging me out and am open to any suggestions

his pc:
7900gto
wd raptor 74gb
2X 200gb hd

well if you only got the vid card and HDD and its freezing at the bios? id say your motherboard is in a world of hurt
if you wanna be 100% test the vid card and HDD in a diff computer but im sure you have some ram in there too, test that
remove the cmos batter and jump the CTLR pins boot then power off put the battery back in and put the jumper back in its original position

if the board is older you can check how its mounted in the case, some of the older ones needed the insulator rings so they wouldent ground out on the risers although if it was grounding out you probably wouldent even get to the bios

reread his post. says he CAN post and bootup with wd raptor and vid card, id say make sure another hd isnt faulty.... also try with the dvd burner and other hd's, til u cant boot by adding or taking out whatever it is, then tell us how it goes
