I have just fitted a new MSI K8N Neo motherboard, Athlon
64 Processor and 512K DDR RAM.I'm running Win XP Pro. On
switch on it begins to boot up then just before opening
the desktop window I get the message 'Not enough Virtual
memory or paging file quota to run the specified
operation'. The system then restarts. This then
continually cycles until I switch off. I can't get into
Safe Mode because the system then freezes, I can't even
acess POST even though quick boot is disabled in the
BIOS. I've tried booting from CD-ROM (Win XP Pro) but the
same error message and restart cylce occurs.
Any ideas, anyone?

Reset the CMOS by either using the jumper or removing the battery fo
10 mins. Then when it restarts you should get an immediate option t
enter setup (BIOS). Load default settings and re-boot.
If this still doesn't work, check your memory is compatible & tested b
MSI - the NEO is quite fussy on memory brands
