Titolo: [PC] Aiuto per un amico

I desperately need help fixing Morgrim's computer, which will allow me 
to escape and spend more time online and doing important guild things 
and less time fussing around over hardware!
I have ordered a series of components with which to build a new PC for 
him since his old one is ... old.
Asus K8VMX (or VNX?) motherboard
GEForce 6600 256mb Gfix card
1056mb generic memory
Novatech case with 350 powersupply
Sempron 3000 processor
Having finished putting the PC together and trying to boot, I have 
encountered several problems.
A) Randomly and commonly the PC will fail to find any boot record, 
request I enter one and then keypress. This is while I have TWO hard 
drives with windows installations on them and the Windows installation 
disk in the secondary master CDROM.
B) Randomly and commonly the BIOS will not allow me to access boot 
device priority. The options are just NOT THERE in the BIOS, with no 
regularity that I can determine - perhaps this is just a foible I am not 
familiar with?
C) Randomly and uncommonly the BIOS will give me a bad checksum, and 
require me to put in Motherboard CD to rewrite the BIOS. 1 in 20-30 
reboots maybe.
D) When I finally manage to access Morgrim's old hard drive and windows 
installation, it bluescreens about 5 seconds into boot. Instant reset. 
So I assume this installation is corrupt and take one of my OWN drives, 
install Windows on it, and take it over to Morgrim's house, boot up with 
it, and bluescreen again. This is all AFTER negotiating a boot which 
manages to avoid the problems outlined above.
E) After installing and reinstalling Windows several times on Morgrim's 
original HDD, my secondary HDD and a new HDD we buy, we cannot get an 
installation to complete - too many file writing errors and bluescreens 
during the final stages of installation. The working Windows 
installation on my secondary HDD works on my machine but not his (though 
something may have happened in transit, it seems unlikely). So three 
hard drives cannot manage to obtain windows installations on them under 
this hardware setup.
Really what I want to know is where I might have gone wrong, anything I 
can do to fix the situation quickly, and whether there may be some 
hardware deficiency which is impossible to detect but is accurately 
reflected by the above symptoms. I am good enough at putting the pieces 
together and puzzling out various issues, but this one has got me 
flummoxed and has already eaten my entire weekend.
Thanks in advance! And I will answer any questions promptly right here!
Un mio amico sta tentando di far funzionare il PC di un suo amico, ma 
sta avendo i problemi di cui sopra. Qualche suggerimento?

Ma poi che computer di merda.
Lo butti e se ne prenda uno nuovo, perdio.

Come ho detto, NT e figli sono MOLTO sensibili alle condizioni 
dell'hardware e un qualsiasi problema in tal senso provoca blu screen of 
  death a ripetizione.
Minimizza il sistema: togli tutti i dischi tranne uno, metti un solo 
lettore CD (o dvd) e un solo banco di memoria. Installa il bios piu' 
recente e disabilita (se possibile) il dual bios. Se la mobo ha una 
scheda video integrata usa quella, disabilita qualsiasi altra cosa che 
non sia strettamente necessaria per l'avvio del PC (porte, rete, audio 
ecc...).
Una volta che hai ottenuto il sistema "minimo" ritenta l'installazione e 
vedi se si schianta ancora.
In caso affermativo il problema risiede in uno dei componenti rimasti. 
Il disco puo' essere escluso, ne avete cambiati diversi e il problema e' 
rimasto lo stesso. Rimane la ram, il processore, la MOBO e la scheda 
video (o il lettore).
Altrimenti e' uno dei componenti che hai disattivato.
Buon divertimento.
