Hi,

I have change my motherboard an A6N266-VM for a A7N8X-E Deluxe, and ever since
the system is rebooting all by itself, I have made every upgrade possible
including a BIOS upgrade to the latest version.

What could cause these problems

BTW. I'm using XP Pro with all Windows Updates installed

Thank you in Advance

1.) What Make/Model of PSU?
2.) Check your RAM with memtest86 to make sure you didn't zap it in the
change.
3.) What are the system temps?
4.) What kind of specs are you running?

Did you re-install WinXP when you swapped motherboards?
Or was it an open-heart transplant?

Are you using DDR memory? Is it memory on the list of
checked memory for that motherboard? Have you tried
relaxing the memory timings? (I have the A7N8X
Deluxe... had to drop from CL 2.0 to CL 2.5 to reduce my
random reboots from 10x daily to 1x monthly.)
 
1.) What Make/Model of PSU?
PSU?? If you mean CPU it's an Athlon XP2200+
2.) Check your RAM with memtest86 to make sure you didn't zap it in the

That was the first thing that I did
3.) What are the system temps?
Click to expand...
Varies between 50 and 58 Celsius
4.) What kind of specs are you running?
Click to expand...
The RAM is PC2100, 2X512Mb

It was as you called it, an open-heart transplant, it's not the first time that
I do this kind of thing, but it's the first time that it does that to me. It's
also the first time that I use such a complete motherboard i.e.: that as about
everything on it

Yes the memory is supported by the motherboard, but I can not find in the BIOS
where to drop the CL

Do a repair installation as detailed here:

You will need to reinstall Windows updates as well.
 
Sorry,

It's an ANTEC TruePower 550W

I can not do a Repair, when I try to boot from the XP Pro cd, right after it
loaded all the drivers, it's saying that it starting Windows, which we all know
that it's the installation part, but it then crash with a very-quick BSOD, and
the computer restart

When you changed the board, was the new one placed in the same case?
Have you tried the new board outside of the new case?

I'm wondering if you forgot to remove the mounting stud which is used on
the A7N266-vm but not on a full sized A7n8x-e board, the stud in the left
column, second from the bottom. If that stud is shorting the board it
could cause all sorts of problems depending what's shorting.
 
I did replace the board in the same case, but before I plug the new board back
in the case I checked if there was anythings that could short and I did removed
the stud you're talking about, and I also made sure that there weren't anything
else
