NF8 Reboot problem.

[jgravance]

Just installed an abit nf8 s754 and an a64 3200. it boots and gets past post, but reboots before getting to winxp screen. basically right after post there is a black screen, a flash of a blue screen/writing, then it reboots. ive tried to boot in safe mode, but to no avail.

You can try just one stick of memory or a different power supply. If you're getting to post, I would check the boot order in the bios and be sure the cd is first. You will probably have to format and do a fresh install of windows.

thanks guys, i put another hard drive in and it booted, so i think it needs a clean install.

You can try a repair install but yes, unless the mobos are very similar (chipset etc.) you can't usually just do a swap & expect XP to run fine.
