i might want to sell my Biostar TA770 A2+ bcoz of the slow booting. PM me if anyone interested. used less than 1 week. bought on 09/02/08 @ PC-Zone.

i already email to support@biostar and they replied.
the support said i need to change the jumper setting on my IDE HDD to cable selection. the thing is i dun wan to use IDE in my current rig.

below is my rig. please advise any possible hardware that might cause the problem.
