Hey -
I am having problems with my computer and would be very thankfull to any who could help me out.
Specs:
Soyo KA266-R Motherboard
Athlon 1.4 ghz
512 DDR
100mhz fsb
Onboard C-media soundchip
nVidia GeForce 2 64mb
20gb Seagate HD
40gb Seagate HD
Win 98

Problems:

When I hit shutdown my computer either restarts or just goes blank and computer does not turn off. The light on screen goes orange and I need to turn off powerstrip and wait fora bout three minutes before computer will boot again.

When booting, I recieve "Primary IDE no 80 conductor cable installed", and the same for secondary IDE. This started when I installed my second (the 40gb) HD last week. Computer still boots, but I am curious as to what the message means.

During certain games, such as Grand Theft Auto III, Alice, Morrowind, Serious Sam, and a few others the computer will completely freeze, repeating whatever sound it was making and will do nothing until I turn off power. Once again, sometimes it will reboot immediately and sometimes I must wait about three minutes.

Maybe the above seems like a lot to dump into chat all at once, but I have tried everything I know and am at a loss for what to do. If you have any ideas at all please post them.

Thank You
