My motherboard crashed and I purchased a new one. ASRock P4i65G. I got it
installed and tried to re-install Windows. The install gets to 36 minutes
remaining (I believe it's trying to install drivers) and I get the blue
screen of death with a core dump. I tried this 3 more times and it ended
the same way each time. I know this motherboard has alot of stuff built
into it, video, modem, network, etc. I am thinking that may be the problem
but I don't know how to get around it.

Any help is appreciated.

One note of caution, be sure that your OS setup CD contains the same SP version
as the installed OS on the HDD. If not, create a new CD with the latest SP
slipstreamed.

Your caps lock is stuck. And your reply is rubbish.

Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if type normally, in mixed
case.

What you say is not true. Almost always a repair installation works
fine in that circumstance. It happens rarely, but sometime the repair
installation isn't sufficient and you need to do a clean
reinstallation.
