even

set the bios back to default!
double check all settings then!
 
Hell that CPU should run @ a fsb of 200 ok, however I do suggest you install
XP with the bios CPU settings on default then experiment with upping the CPU
speed, mine's running at the same speed as a 3200. You might have to up the
vcore a little....

have tried from total defaults...no USB,LAN,ports..and as for model I
shortened the Deluxe to DX
so it is a A7N8X Deluxe...sorry for the confusion..and have also tried the
install from the DAEWOO burner. It runs fine in 98SE but I would prefer to
be in XP.
 
Xp is more "picky", especially with oc's and memory!
Especially during the install, I missed one setting, a default one,
with a P4c800-e deluxe and had to reinstall xp/pro.
Are you using XP with sp1/sp1a?
Is the cd in good shape? Try other memory, any that will work,
one stick only! Hopefully it's not a bad mobo or cpu, that's the pits to
isolate, when they are just flacky and almost work!
 
If you can get it to run on 98se then you should be fine!
Something hosed with the mobo/ram/bios?

Set all your settings to stock for a start. When XPee gives trouble loading
it is usually a ram problem so look there first.
 
I had a great deal of trouble getting XP loaded (it took four trys, each
time hanging in a different spot). I think it was the HD - either a bad
SATA cable or the HD didn't like that I was simply setting it flat on an
anti-static bag on a table as a built up the system on the bench. New cable
and hanging it in an enclosure, and the system has been stable.

XP doesn't want to load? Better check your memory. XP is kind of finicky.
