I installed a new Motherboard - XFX Mach 4 (P4XE-MVB) along with a Celeron 2.0 ghz and 2 sticks of PNY 256 DDR PC-2100 memory to replace my 3 year old E-Machines board.

I cannot get Windows to fully load - It craps out after seeing the Win ME flash on screen and the screen goes blank and I have to reboot! The Bios has detected the Hard Drive, memory and all periferals installed. I tried also just installing without the CD and DVD Burner but with the same problem.

Can anyone advise me what the problem may be?

Thanks,

Bob

with a new motherboard you almost ALWAYS have to format and do a clean install, if you haven't done this it's a good place to start.

Go into safe mode and remove all the devices from device manager.

I purchased a new hard drive and now the system is up and running!

Thanks,
