Whenever you change the motherboard in an XP OS computer system, you MUST
reformat the harddrive and do a fresh install of the OS. Otherwise you will
have problems such as you discovered.

Lots of ideas. I get the impression you swapped the mainboard out
from under Windows. Windows XP might be good at it, Windows
Millennium maybe coped okay, but I would still reinstall Windows
when replacing my mainboard. You do have backups of any important
data?

My experience is similar to Dave's. A new mobo almost always requires a
re-install of Windows or instability occurs.

not quite so fast there my friend. a repair install of XP MAY and I dare
say MAY fix the problema after the repair and installing the mobo drivers.
But, in a perfect world, with all data backed up, WTF, reformat and install.
Why not do it?

But, I did take XP and move it from an intel platform to an AMD platform
with only reinstalling the mobo drivers, video, and modem. Your mileage may
vary.

P.S. - you knew this already, right john?????

You need to keep important data backed up on another physical media.

Does your new graphics card require a secondary power connection. Most new
ones do.

Look on your video card or in your video card owners manual to see
whether it requires another power connection.
