I have a ASUS A7N8X Delux Board, 1.53Ghz 1800+ AMD Athlon XP, 2 512 sticks Kingston Value RAM 333Mhz DDR PC2700. Everything installed but when I try to boot to the hard drive Windows does not boot then system shuts down and reboots and is stuck in this cycle. I Flashed the BIOS with the updated version but same problem. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

What are your current memory settings (frequency, delays, precharge and latency). I had problems with the same ram as you and changed to corsair, check out your ram settings and get back to me.

Try using 256meg sticks, I've had a lot of difficulty with 512's running over 133mhz

One day I'll look back at my current rig the way I do my old ZX Spectrum.......Would have been interesting to say the least if Sir Clive had Bill G's business skills

Hey there, I just built an identical system but with corsair ram and have the same exact problem. It says "booting from os" and then goes to the win xp loading screen for maybe 1/3 of a second and then restarts, I'm working on it and ASUS should be getting back to me about it soon and I'll letcha know.

Ok got your fix, no ASUS still hasn't replied but none the less, at first I thought it was RAM, WRONG, then I though mobo, WRONG, I simply reinstalled windows and it worked.
