New mobo reboot

[cats2cars]

This is probably a really basic newb question but I can't seem to find a solution so I am going to thow myself on the mercy of the forum members.

I upgraded my motherboard, powersupply and memory yesterday. My system boots into the bios ok but will keep rebooting before getting into windows (xp home). I can tell there is a message that comes up for a split second before it reboots but it flashes by so fast I cannot read what it is.

My system specs are:
IC7 G
2 sticks of Twinmos ddr 3200 , 512.
WD jb 80 gig hard drive
Radeon 7500
Soundblaster live
xp home.
Enermax 430 watt ps

Any help you can give me on this would be much appreciated.
I just hooked up my old hard drive without a reformat since I forgot to do a ghost image before I pulled everything apart.

Again I appreciate any help you can give me on this.

This is probably something really easy o

Check your HSF and make sure it's installed properly and that it's sitting flat on the CPU core.

I've never seen Windows XP able to boot properly after changing the hardware. Put the Windows XP CD in, boot from it, DO NOT select the first repair option, proceed as if you are doing a new install. After that, it will find the old installation, and ask if you want to repair it. Say yes, and it will install a new HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer), and once done, it will again boot into Windows XP. You will then need to go to the windowsupdate.microsoft.com site, and re-install all the updates.
