I have had to purchase a new motherboard for my PC. I bought an Epox
VIA P4M266A for Intel Socket 478 processor.
The new board solved my initial problem that the computer would not even
power up. However Windows XP boots for about 20 seconds the restarts
the machine. This happens in both normal boot or Safe mode. I have
tried other hard drives with XP on them and they all do exactly the same
thing, but if I connect a Windows 98 drive the system boots without a hitch.
Can anybody point me in the right direction of what might be wrong??
Thanks for any help
