You can get the latest firmware for your Mats***a DVD ROM here; http://perso.club-internet.fr/farzeno/firmware/dvd/dvdfi.htm Scroll down page.

Might be worth checking the power on switch.If the switch is faulty the connections may intermittently bridge across causing the circuit to be made and power up the PC.

Here's the new European XBox commercial.Weird. http://www.xp-erience.org/out/misc/xboxad.zip Right click and "Save target as"[/color:c03f940a66]

Aaron i've just checked and both these 6163 boards support your Pentium.MSI added support after the boards were manufactured. Follow the links below and just above the picture of the motherboard theres a link for "CPU support",click on that and you'll see your Pentium is supported. 6163 PRO http://www.msi.com.tw/products/mainboard/m...el=MS-6163+V2.0 6163 VA http://www.msi.com.tw/products/mainboard/m...model=MS-6163VA

You say the DVD ejects the tray on reboot,this may be partly what is causing the problem with the CDRW as they share the same channel. Have you tried the Liteon with the Mats***a disconnected.Do you have the latest firmware for the DVD?Also do you have the latest bios version for your board? Sorry to ask so many questions Aaron,but you've got some weird problems there. :confused

Aaron what motherboard and Lite-on model do you have. Does the bios non detection problem occur on normal reboots or only from a cold boot? Bios detection problems are sometimes caused by a faulty or flat motherboard battery.If the battery is losing power the CMOS may not remember all your saved settings.

A lot of stop errors are caused by faulty RAM,try another stick of RAM if you have any.

Hudson - Did this stop error occur immediately after installing any new hardware?

Open My computer.Go to view > Arrange icons by.Tick show in groups.

Make sure you have got USB controller or onboard USB chip enabled in the Bios. EDIT; apologies.I posted this at the same time as your follow up post so i never read that you stated you have usb function in safe mode. So obviously usb is enabled in bios.[/color:179cd50977]

I have found my games seem to run smoother running FAT32 as opposed to NTFS.Anyone else noticed this?
