"idiot" check first - check that all items are plugged in soundly - and recheck. A card or memory module that's not quite in properly can yield results like you get.

Two things come to mind:

1. The CMOS jumper is set to "clear" instead of "normal"

2. You are using TWO IDE devices when it can only handle ONE.

3. The memory is incompatible or improperly installed (wrong slots, etc)
