Hi, this is my problem:
==========================================
Question:

Why did my system lock up during installing Windows XP? (Common issue)

Reason:

It is possible to be a VGA BIOS problem if you are using an nVidia MX400 and MX200 with old VGA BIOS. For ABIT Siluro MX400/T400 and MX200/T200 users, check the VGA BIOS revision and update to V3.11.01.30.x or newer before installing Windows XP please.

(mx2_0130.exe, mx4_0130.exe, t2_0130.exe, t4_0130.exe)

For other vendor's graphic cards based on nVidia chip, contact their technical support please.
==========================================

The big problem is that Asus newest vga bios for V7100 is version 3.11.01.24beta and I have that one (3.11.01.24C1). Anyone any ideas?

Zyphrax

P.S. I know replacing the videocard before setup will work and then putting it back after, but I don't think that's a nice solution
