Motherboard upgrade

[FZR1000]

... I am running Win XP . Do I need to do a clean install when I upgrade the motherboard/CPU ?

I'm GUESSING no. Because WIN XP is installed on your Hard drive. Therefore the memory is put there, not your mobo.

... what memory ? ... the registry is confused because of the new USB , LAN , sound and other MB devices ... hence it's a no boot ... WinXP thinks the registry is corrupt
