Shuttle AN35N Ultra won't boot

[atoner]

I have a system that is AMD 2000+ with a Gigabyte motherboard and Nvidia Geforce 4 Ti 4600. I went out and bought a AMD 3000+ with a Shuttle AN35N Ultra motherboard and a 430 watt power supply. I replaced only the mobo, psu, and cpu on my system. The system will POST, load the BIOS, but will not load into Windows XP.

I tried putting a Knoppix linux CD into the CD drive, and I can boot from it, but any time I boot into XP on the HDD it shows the XP splash screen for a second and then bluescreens. I can't see the bluescreen's contents because the PC reboots itself as soon as it is displayed.

If it boots into Knoppix just fine, is it safe to assume that a fresh install of XP will fix my problems? I haven't tried reinstalling yet because I have to locate my setup CD. What else could be going on here?

Thanks,

Fresh install will most likely fix it, which is why you should always do a fresh install for a new motherboard. There are jsut too many driver differences between two boards, even two based on the same chipset.

XP doesnt like major hardware change...part of its copy protection/activation scheme. Motherboard and cpu are major component...so you'll have ti reinstall Windows in order to fix that.

-Always put the blame on you first, then on the hardware !!!
