I had a WinXP Pro SP1 running just fine (P3 700, Voodoo3 video, and
128x3 RAM). Tonight, I installed a new motherboard, P4 2.4ghz, new
nVidia video card, and pulled one of the 128 DIMMS out so it now has
128x2 RAM. When it turns on, it recognizes the new video card, it
sees 256MB RAM, and it sees the hyperthreaded CPU, but once it starts
to boot into WinXP (XP black-boot screen), I see a blue screen flash
and then it reboots itself. I've tried booting in safemode (which
always seems to hang on the driver 'mup.sys' and then reboot) but it
reboots itself, I've tried last known hardware config... but nothing
works.
I'd ~like~ to get this running WITHOUT having to reinstall the OS and
all the programs, but at this point I'm not seeing any other options
(thankfully I use roaming profiles so my settings and such will be
preserved). Any ideas?
