hi,
I have a new AMD 790FX motherboard that has always had a cold boot problem.my hard disks are not detected and so i get an error in bios. the one that says no boot system found or something along that line.This has always been a problem.even after reinstalling operating system about 8X's. anyway a reset using ctrl+alt+del when i see the error will allow the hard disks to be detected and the boot to be sucessful.

No boot situations can be caused by any of the following.
If you have installed an incompatible processor, the system will not boot. Ensure the selected processor model is correct for your desktop board. Some processors require specific desktop board versions and BIOS revisions. To find the supported processor list for your board, go to Supported Processors. If the processor is compatible, try removing and reinstalling the processor to ensure it is installed correctly.
If the processor overheats, the system may not boot or may shut down shortly after booting.
Make sure the fans on the processor are connected properly and running.
Make sure that the thermal interface material or the thermal grease is applied to the processor properly.
Make sure that the power supply fan is running properly and any other external case fans are running properly.
Make sure that the air intakes for the external fans are unobstructed and have at least several inches away from walls and other items.

Are you using the same Windows install (same hard drive) as your previous setup? If so, you may have a currupt OS. It will be well worth your while to reformat your boot drive & reinstall Windows, 2000 or XP if you can swing it.

have you tried Recovery Console? As long as you have a "broken" registry, you won't be able to get into a Windows environment.
