My power supply fried last week and took my motherboard with. Since it was an
older motherboard I could not get an exact replacement so I get a board with
the closest chipset that I could. When I tried to boot the existing hard
drive build to the new motherboard, the system freezes after all the drivers
load but before the login screen is shown ( the Windows startup display is
up). Is there a way to fix this short of a full reinstall. Here are the specs:
Old Motherboard:
ASROCK K7VM2 (Specs page: http://www.amptron.com/html/ASrock_K7VM2spec.html)
Main Chipset VIA KT266 (Northbridge) and VIA8235 (Southbridge)
Supports AMD Duron, Athlon, AthlonXP CPUs
Supports 266MHz Front-Side Bus speeds
Socket 462 motherboard
* Do not try to install a Socket 370/423 processor in the Socket-462. A
Socket 370 processor such as the Pentium III, or Celeron, does not fit in the
Socket 462.
Memory Support
2 DDR DIMM sockets and 2 DIMM sockets support (CAN NOT be used at the same
time)
Two 184-pin 2.5V DDR* (Double Date Rate) SDRAM DDR266 (PC2100) or
Two 168-pin 3.3V SDRAM (PC133/PC100)
Maximum installed memory is 2GB
* DDR SDRAM provides 800MBps or 1 GBps data transfer depending on whether
the bus is 100MHz or 133MHz. It doubles the rate to 1.6 GBps and 2.1 GBps by
transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock. DDR
SDRAM uses additional power and ground lines and requires 184-pin 2.5V
unbuffered DIMM module rather than the 168-pin 3.3V unbuffered DIMMs used by
SDRAM. * DDR DIMM Manufacture List
