My old MB died so I got the 4CoreDual-SATA2 R2.0, Intel 775 3.0GHZ core dual processor and a pair of 1 gig memory. I tried booting with the old OS - XP Pro SP3 32 bit. When the XP boot screen appears the boot process goes groundhog day and starts over. I'm running SATA drives. The processor and the video card (ATI X1950 Pro AGP 8x) are both supported but I flashed the BIOS to ver. 2.20 (the latest) in hopes it was a old BIOS issue. I have a PC PowerCooling 750 watt power supply so I don't believe it power related. The memory and CPU are new and recognized by the BIOS. I've tried default BIOS settings and I've played around with the memory timing but nothing fancy. Not overclocking or pushing the memory timing etc. Antec 1200 case. I'm posting from work and trusting my old fart memory on the video card type but I think I've listed everything.
I think I may have to install a 64 bit version of XP Pro, but I figured I'd check with some experts on the problem before dropping more money to solve the problem. I've found nothing on the ASRock site or a Google on the problem.
Any hints are gratefully accepted, except changing to SUSE or other brand of the penguin %^) since I know nothing about linux.
