Sometimes when I start the system, my cdrw drive makes noises and it doesn't
continue booting, I have already replaced the drive and cable and am still
having this problem, any idea's?

cheers

And the first boot device is set to hdd in the BIOS

Try swapping out your power supply for a known-working one.

Thanks, I'll try that, it all started last week with a IRQ_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
BOSD, I have already replaced the memory which came back as faulty with
memtest86 and now having problems with the booting process which is stopping
before it starts detecting the drives and making noises from the cd, I have
tested the HDD and all is ok there, I'll report back and see if the psu swap
has fixed it

cheers
