I have recently upgraded my motherboard, which I took the long route and
just reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled XP Home and did the normal
reinstalls from CD's I'd made.
I went to the Windows Update site, did all the downloading and that left
only SP2 to install. Downloaded it, installed it and rebooted. Each boot,
right after login, I get a restart. This happens every time I login, unless
I go through safe mode.
I read the .dmp files and it seems that there is a conflict with my
graphics card, which WAS an ATI 9200 and now is an nVidia 5500. Happens with
both cards.
It is a Giga-byte K8U board with AMD 2800+ cpu, seagate hard drive, DVD RW
and CD rom, and the 5500 nVidia card. AMD has a fix for AGP problems on
Windows 2000, but not further help.
I switched off the restart and made it BOSD with dmp info and again there
it says I need to disable video caching, etc and try safe mode and disable
video card. Tried that: uninstalled video card and drivers and rebooted.
Same problem.
Anyone know how to fix this problem? Two different video cards, same
problem...Even tried the AGP for Win2k fix from AMD to no avail.
