My M3N-HT Deluxe MB computer installs and boots Vista fine. It also installs XP fine, installing 100% of files fine, reboots, and then installs with the count down from 39 minutes-0 minutes.It then reboots, then it just hangs at the Windows XP screen, with the blue bar scrolling across the middle of the screen.

I've tried booting in safe mode(successfully), and installing the chipset drivers, but when I reboot, it hangs at the same screen.

Any help? Thanks.

You may have to boost the memory voltage or change one of the default configurations in the bios. Also, if you can get to the control panel in windows in safe mode, see which devices aren't installed or have any marks next to them, indicating a conflict with another device driver. If you're trying for a dual boot setup, that may also be your problem. I was only able to do it once, and never able to replicate the same setup again. It's a little tricky for most folks.
