New mainboard & CPU – stops when booting
I replaced the mainboard and CPU in my son’s computer to give him a motherboard with an AGP slot. The “old” setup was a Biostar board and an 1.3 GHz AMD Duron, 256 MB SDRAM. The “new” one is a Chaintech board and another 1.3 GHz Duron, with 512 MB SDRAM. The “old” setup used onboard video, the “new” one uses an AGP nVidia GeForce4 MX440. OS is Win 2K Pro. Problem is, I can’t get past the “Windows Starting…” screen – the thing freezes up. It won’t go into Safe or any other mode. Any suggestions?
