i am swapping out my Asus P4B266 for an Intel D845GBVL and having some problems. I took out the Asus and put in the Intel with no problems. The only problem is that the Intel mobo will post fine, then it pops up the little screen that tells me WinXP was not properly shut down and I tell it to boot normally. But instead of showing the "Windows XP Professional" screen with the scrolling bar, the system restarts. I have tried to run Windows in every mode possible (all sorts of safe modes, debugging, etc.) and Win XP still won't load up. I put the Asus back in and it works fine. I am guessing that this could be a driver issue possible with some Asus drivers or something that aren't allowing the Intel to load XP. I could be wrong. I know there is nothing wrong with the Intel board because I just got it. If it is the drivers, couldn't i just delete all of the drivers and let all of them re-install when (if) the intel board boots up? i don't want to try it and have to swap mobos again cause it is a pain. i have heard from some people that the removing all of your system devices in hardware manager then shutting the pc down then performing the replacement works... i really don't want to have to start over again on this hd because i have a lot of very large files that i would like to not have to download again... i also heard that if you do a system repair using windows xp that it will work... just curious thanks for any help you can give.
