Booting problems...

I recently bought a barebones system and transferred my HD and CDROMs and other junk onto the new system. Took a while but I finally got the thing working, but its acting strange. Yesterday while I was rebooting, it gave me some error with my Floppy drive (I hadn't installed it yet) and then halted the system startup. It then did that a few more times and then got to the point where whenever I would turn on the PC, my monitor wouldn't respond to it at all. (I didn't unplug any cables or anything, it just stopped)

So I then give it an hour or two and same thing... I even take out all the cables then replace them... same thing... So I did what I did the night before when it wasn't starting my monitor which was let it sit overnight. I turn on the computer this morning and guess what... it works perfectly now.

Im afraid to reboot now because if it screws up again, thatll be another day I have to wait to use my new computer. I turned off any system-boot halting in the BIOS so it shouldn't pull the floppy thing again (although I installed it now), but who knows, this machine is crazy.

Anyone experience similar problems or know what may be wrong?

On my QDI Legend 8 (Onboard sound) - My First computer, Some times my computer would randomly restart and say that BOTH my hard disks faild. The first time this happened i almost threw my computer (I need anger-mangement :D ) across the room. And i left it over night and it just turned on, everything ok, like nothing happend (besides the computer was turned off inproperly....) and then a few weeks later it happened again. A Comp. tech told me the problem was that i ran the computer too much for the current cooling (24/7 for 2 years besides poweroutages and restarts) so I added 2 fans (front+back) and its still running till today (i got the computer in '98) I still havent figured out why i havent had a fan die yet!

But i would suggest more cooling and mabey flashing ur bios if needed (last resort)

Maybe the floppy is going? Have u tried switching the floppy with another one that works?

I think there was a setting in BIOS that could holt it.

Seek Floppy on boot or something like that. Turn it off if it's there.
