efc :
what motherboard is it?

the motherboard is the root of many xp problems

all of which are due to old drivers installed
or problem chipsets specs and shoddy manufactures and bad solder points

on some new boards the driver discs do not support xp

installing the auto setup has caused many stability problems in xp

post the motherboard here

dont install any drivers from cd

goto the manufactures website and get all the latest drivers and updates and burn them onto cd for easy re-installation


cheers
