New Motherboard

[Guest]

Install a new motherboard and processer. Now when I start XP it crashes and
reboots. I can only see it for a second but it looks like a quick blue
screen of death before rebooting. I should also say that I installed a very
old video card temporarily until I get the new one tommorrow. I started in
safe mode and it appears that it is crashing on a program named mup
something. Is it the hardware change that is causing XP to crash or could
it be the video card? Thanks in advance.

the hardware change did it
boot with your XP cd and perform a repair installtion
then re-apply your windows updates

sure...
when you boot up
just don't go take the recovery console option
to get to the "repair" installation option
