My first post on this wonderful site.

anyways I built up a pc and have everything connected, when I start it up it says

'reboot and select proper boot drive
or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key’

when I insert a windows vista, home basic OEM disc it starts to read it then powers off, it won’t power back on for about 2-3 minutes. I haven't installed anything, I don’t think I’m meant to, I don't think it's a hardware problem. I had a unbranded W400 psu and I thought it powered of because of a power failure so I bought a X-power 450W and I still have the same problem.

Any help what so every would be great.

Here’s my system info if needed:-

AMD Phenom X 4 Quad Core Processor
Nvidia ECS 8100VM-M5 motherboard
2GB 800MHz DDR2 Memory
GeForce 9500 GT 1GB
X-Power 450w psu
Samsung 250GB Hard Drive (from my old pc)


Thanks
