    because that might be the issue their some nvivda drivers go corrupt (the display driver) and
    make the computer unable to boot.usual ways to try to fix that is remove and reinstall the driver
    either through safe mode.also using another graphics card or on board graphics and then removing
    the driver to allow you to reinstall your driver
    Tried that with my HD card in the PCI slot on the Zoostorm. THe HDD boots in y PC but not his.

    Im gonna try my HDD in his now.......


    The bios has a stack of different boot options, and allows me to change from HDD to DVD rom as the priority boot, but the main boot priority only has the following to change......

    ch 0: Hitachi (serial num hdd)
    ch 1: bootable add-in cards


    Should there not be a DVD-rom or Removable USB devices in the section?

      Have you checked the manual for this board see if it can shed any light?

      If the hdd works fine in your machine then jts not a hdd iissue. How abiut ram?

      Try changing sata cables and reset all jumpers back to orignial settings. If they are sata then they wont need jumpers plus try resetting bios again by loading defaults.

      Whats the make and version of the bios?

        The Phoenix award bios ID is G31-M04.GA.C4.S.07

        The mobo is FoxConn G?1MX-K (Series = N15235)

        I checked before posting here for PDF files on this but couldt find any that had the right info on it. They were basic PDfs with just power settings and socket I/Os.

        What dya mean by "how about ram?"

        I tried different sata leads and it picks up the HDD and DVD drive but wont boot Windows Disc still.

        Its as though the bios has some form of safe boot built in and is rebooting to stop any changes creating otp faults.


        Check This Link to foxconn

        This is all I could find on the mobo. What about USB boot to erase and reflash bios?

            after taking a quick look at the video its the driver theirs nothing wrong with hdd
            its the driver if it was the card itself it would not boot at all and if it did it would with weird colors
            and pixels on the screen

            like cunny said best to check ram check each 1 at a time if there fine then lets move on also after hearing about
            the ahci go to the bios check the settings and also check the sata controller is enabled since the bios was reset
            most likely driver though corrupt drivers was common with the 6000-9000 of nvidia products at that time

            options?

            i checked your board specs says you have an onboard graphics card


            did you change it to agp/pci express graphic on the bios?

            when theirs more than one graphics options sometimes you have to set which to use in the bios
            save/exit/restartif make no difference

            go back to bios change it on board graphics switch your vga/dvi/hdmi ito the onboard the boot using on board
            graphics card then remove the driver the restart the pc

            go to bios change card to your Nvidia graphics let it boot windows

            switch your cable to your card as well then boot windows

            then reinstall the driver

              I think its either hdd controller issue or as you said. Graphics controller. Doubt its ram but wont hurt to remove a dimm or ensure its seated right.
