Hello
I have just replaced my old soltek motherboard (it had faulty memory sockets) with a Sparkle AMD socket A NVIDEA nForce2 400 ATX Motherboard.
I have connected my old CDRW, GeForce2MX400, Maxtor Hardrive (Running win XP) up and I am running in to the following problem:
The computer boots up
memory is fine,
whizes through the normal stuff,
It then asks me if I want to start Windows in:
Safemode, command prompt, normal, etc
Which everone I choose, the computer gets to the point where it almost starts win XP (The white bar loads up across the screen)
Where upon a blue screen flashes up with an error and the computer resets itself. The blue screen flashes up so shortly that I do not have time to read any of what the error could be.
If anyone could suggest what may be the problem i would be very greatful
Thank you

If XP was previously setup with the Soltek board you will have to either repair XP or reinstall so the HAL gets setup for the new mainboard. |

Its just windows xp. You'll need to repair, or re install, i suggest re install though.
I have the same mainboard as that. Theres been some confusion whether this is a dual channel board or not, from my experience, it does seem to be dual channel!
The onboard sound is great, although i get a hissing and whining sound on mine, so i installed a sb live and used that, i only use the onboard sound as an input for my guitar, and an output for voice conversations over msn, i have a microphone built into my webcam, so i use that instead of the microphone inputs on my soundcards.
Hope this helps
