This is a new build and after post and hitting F1 to continue, to install XP, she just freezes and all I can do is shut it off using the power button. Thank you in advance. GRRRRRRRR.

I'd try going with the default settings by shorting the CMOS jumper. If it actually makes it through POST, then it's a driver issue...which a BIOS update may impact. Louis
