Windows 2000 Professional seemed to install okay, but then first reboot after installation failed -- system simply hung on the "Starting Up . . . " screen, but would boot into safe mode.

Windows 2000 Advanced Server won't install at all -- hangs about halfway through the "Searching for keyboard and other devices . . . " screen.

Windows 98 SE installed perfectly with no problems, but I need Windows 2K!!

Motherboard tests out okay; tried all the usual stuff -- removing cards, etc. This is the second system I've tried it on, with identical motherboards. Couldn't get Win2K on the other one, either. Dip switches are set to automatic -- everything runs great, except it won't let me install Win2K. Any settings I'm missing here?

Set your BIOS to default settings and do not overclock.
I have two of these boards and I have not had any problems what-so-ever.
Good Luck!

Set everything back to default, but still hangs in same spot during Win2K Adv. Srvr. install. CPU is Pentium III 800 EB. Should I try manual DIP settings?
