Hello-
I am upgrading from a P3 800 and an Asus P3V4X to a Abit AN7 and a Mobile XP 2500+. I tried just installing everything and turning it on. Everything boots fine, but Windows will not start up. I have tried Safe Mode and normal boot. It STARTS to boot up, but stops and then resets the machine. I dont know what this means. I wouldnt have thought a boot sequence could reset a machine, but since the chipsets are so radically different, maybe it does?
I would rather not reinstall XP unless I absolutely have to do it. Is there a way I can limp into Windows so I can load the new motherboard drivers, or am I pretty much to the point where I have to do a fresh XP install?
I am not overclocking, and I am running Crucial memory. I shouldnt have any stability issues.
