With a = WD3200AAKS drive (320 GB) installed, I get the message BTX Loader = Starting =E2=80=A6 and the system hangs. With a WD1000FYPS the BTX = Loader halts and I get a display of all the registers. I=E2=80=99m = booting from a DVD. Both disks tested fine in other machines. The = system has 4 GB on memory. Anyone have any ideas as to what=E2=80=99s = happening? Is the Athlon64 x2 not supported? Thanks in advance - Bob = Mulholland
