New CPU, Ram, Mobo - need help

[weemanbran]

Ok, so I just purchased a Q6600, 4gb g. skill ddr2 pc6400 ram, and a DFI lanparty p35 mobo. I haven't ever build an entire PC before, just installed a video card, ram, and PS.

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136043
Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231122
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017

So I just get this all today and I installed the CPU, ram, and Mobo correctly to my knowledge. Powered up the PC and it showed the DFI lanparty logo then went to the black screen where it shows specs of the PC etc. I have never installed a Mobo before, but just from random reading etc I thought I needed to reset the CMOS. Read the manual, I guess it is supposed to restore to default settings not really sure if it was needed because it didn't change anything in the bootup. Anyways it is not bootting into Windows and this what I am seeing in the black screen of specs etc.

You can just pop into the BIOS and exit again, the system should start up as expected, I think it's just something to make you check that the settings and devices are correct. Normally, I take that opportunity to check in the CMOS whether or not all of my drives are detected and I check that the correct multiplier and FSB are set.

When I try going into bios and exiting it goes to what I usually would see, which I will would call the 2nd black screen. It starts out with a list of PCI Device Listings, I rather not list the details of all that unless it can help with the issue but at the bottom it says:

Verifying DMI Data..... Update Success
Backup CMOS.... OK!

then it will just sit there.

Got to be something with the hard drive settings in the bios, since you're using a PATA. Though right now I'm too tired to look up and I have to study for finals.. but Make sure you have the PATA ports enabled.

Do I need to reformat the hard drive? Well I tried, but I can't boot into the disk.
