okay i just upgraded my computer from a gigabyte ga-7dxr, 1gig tbird and nameless ram with 2 ibm 40 gig deskstars. i upgraded to an asus a7n8x deluxe with a athlon 2500 +xp barton core, and a set of corsair TWINX512-3200C2PT memory. one of my drives went bad so i order a seagate baraucuda 40 gig as well. when i went to boot up it goes fine until it goes to the screen in xp when windows was shut down improperly, no problem select start windows normaly, it then goes past the xp screen and before the log in screen comes up it reboots and ends up back at the windows was shut down improperly screen.

anything about the a7n8x deluxe i would need to know about to upgrade, thanx

Try getting into safe mode and tell it to not reboot when it encounters errors. It is somewhere in the system properties.
 
You did completely Format and Reinstall WinXP from scratch right?

That would be your problem. You'll need to reformat and reinstall with a chipset change or windows wont boot up properly (I think this is only a problem for win2000/winXP).
