I ordered some new stuff the other week. Well, I got it all and hooked everything up yesterday. I was just installing a bunch of programs, had to reboot, and all of a sudden it hangs. It had been running great for a day now, but all of a sudden this shit happened. It'll boot, but it takes a few minutes. It takes a minute to detect all the hardware. Then it goes to the Windows boot screen, and after that it hangs for another minute or so before loading.

Specs:
Win XP SP1
Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2
AMD 3200+
ATI 9800 Pro
Kingston Hyper X PC3200(2x512)
4 Western Digital 80gig SE's
Santa Cruz (sound card)
Vantec 470watt PSU

I've tried everything I can think of. If someone has any suggestions I'm all ears.... Thanks.

On a totally different topic. I wouldn't suggest that anyone ever buy an Enermax PSU. I bought one of their 470 watt PSU's and it wouldn't even power up my PC. And it only had 6 molex connectors, which isn't even enough for all of my stuff. That hunk of shit is going back to NewEgg.

Time for a nap.
