No errors? Don't really get what happens after you reboot. By halt, do you mean like a freeze or a blue screen? Please be more specific.

it just stops with a black screen just beofore the boot logo comes up

if i goto F8 then press boot with last known good configuration it stops at a black screen before the logo comes up

if i goto start normally it stops on that screen the timer counting down stops at that number and it just sits there

if i goto safe mode it gets to mup.dll or something and stops by stops i mean that the h/d stops making sounds the cpu fan stops becouse it only starts when the chip is under load which makes me think that it just isnt doing anything i am shure it is a windows problem or a setting on the mainboard i just cant figure out what i have read the manuals but cannot see what i have dune wrong

the gainward geforce 7900GTX golden sample 512mb is a pcie video card and the harddrive is sata i dont think there is a problem with the drive as it installs windows fine and runs on first boot fine same with the graphics card however do i need to install something that might be stoping my 2x 7900gtx in sli mode from allowing windows to boot

So your problems just appear after installing drivers ? isolate the problem by installing windows then reboot your machine several times to be sure you dont face the problem, then install drivers one by one until you isolate the problem, also check your event viewer for any related errors.

i cannot reboot lol

after first boot it will not go back into windows no matter what i do even if i dont install the dirvers

Are you using a the Harddrive in RAID or on a RAID controller?
