418076 2006-01-03 18:29:00 Heyi have recently bought a enw processor 3.2 ghz intel p 4 a mother board and a new graphics card and i put it all together and it starts up but when it gets to the window loading screen it restarts itself any ideas of what is wrong? :groan: :help: Gordon.Barker (9536)
418077 2006-01-03 18:34:00 possible powersupply not grunty enuf......also.......did you do a clean install or windows with this new hardware, or have you changed the hardware yet are trying to boot off the old harddrive with the old installation of windows on it ?.....if the latter is the case then that will be the issue.......you've changed the hardware and all the drivers etc are wrong for what you now have.......you'll need to do a 'repair install' to fix that drcspy (146)
418078 2006-01-03 18:39:00 ah does my harddrive need to be wiped first?+ i have a 600w psu? annd how do i do a repair fix Gordon.Barker (9536)
418079 2006-01-03 18:58:00 AH NOPE i didn't say 'wipe' the drive tho you can if you wish to do a 'clean' install......otherwise jsut set boot order to cdrom then stuff in the xp cd, (i'm assuming xp here) then go thru the process as if you are installing xp on teh drive, (even tho you already haev xp there) then it should give you the option of 'repairing' the existing installation..............dont get confused and 'press R to repair' by entering the recovery console........do the process as if you were going ahead with installing xp......this will lead you to the repair function that repairs an existing installation............run this ........Ps: you'll need your product key number drcspy (146)

I'm guessing if you boot in safe mode, and look in the system event viewer, you'll see something like "a serious error has occured. BPCode 0000000ea, ..."

I think you're likely to find it's a video card driver.

If you're motherboard has on-board video, you might want to temporarily remove your video card and use it to see if the problem goes away. At least the video card is easy to verify / dismiss.

Some systems with Prescott CPU's will have probs, when SP2 is installed.
