I've got two motherboards that are about 8-9 years old, and whenever I try using one of them, both turn on, and when they get to the "Starting Windows" display, they immediately crash and reset. Is there a way I can fix it or should I just throw them away?

Motherboards:
- AM2N1K-M V3.0 from Phitronics
- K9N6PGM2-V from MSI
Both using AMD Sempron processors and 2GB of RAM (DDR2)

I've already tested the HDD on different motherboards, like Intel's DG31PR and Foxconn's 945GZ7MC and it worked fine.

I've already tried doing that, but I might either change to another OS so I won't have that type of problem or get another HDD. Do you have any idea which types of OS don't have this type of issue?
