When booting tap F8 repeatedly. A black screen should come up allowing you to add boot flags. Type -v [verbose mode] and hit enter. Post your output, possibly as a screenshot. Sometimes just using the -v flag allows you to boot.
Did you select the ATI drivers during install? I don't remember what drivers are available on that specific install, but i thought some X1000 were on there...
Nice rig, check specs in my sig, similar to yours [but your sig is not up-to-date, jftr wink.gif], hehe... Still sorting out graphics card at the moment, have artifacts under all OSes :S 2nd card i have that problem with, so i don't think it's actually the graphics card... oh well, i'll figure it out some day wink.gif

Thanks buddy I am at work now when I back home I'll give it a try and see, by the way I choosed the ATI drivers while installing but there were no X1000 in it.

I have done exactly what you said, I clicked F8 and -V and it kept doing some stuff I captured it here :

It appears to me that its your hardrive... or hard drive controller

Yep, i agree, tho i doubt it's the hard drive controller as i have the same motherboard... I'd recommend searching the forums for "IOATAController device blocking bus", there seem to be at least a few people who've encountered this.
A 'solution' is posted here, tho i don't really understand what the person means/did :S Hope you figure it out wink.gif If not, you could always try sending a message to the author of the post... I guess he's really saying this.
Another relevant thread here and here.
Hope you find a solution to your problem smile.gif I don't really think your graphics card is preventing you from booting...
