Windows XP enters a restart loop after replacing mainboard

[Gunnar Bortheim]

My computer won't boot after replacing mainboard. A bluescreen flashes so
quickly that I can't read the error message. Then the computer restarts.
This becomes a loop.

What could be wrong?
And what can I do to solve this problem without re-installing Windows?

You will need to do a repair install.
The BSOD you are seeing is reporting an inaccessible boot device due to the motherboard change.
