Hi all, I just purchased some new parts for my old computer. I got an MSI micro RS482M4 Motherboard running with an ATI Radeon X800 Card and AMD 64 3200+ processor. Well When I first turned on the computer, everything went fine (at least my friend did all the wiring and such) but when we tried to boot windows, it restarted at the "Windows XP" boot page where the XP is loading and then went to DOS where it asked for safe mode and stuff. I Used to have an Nvidia in my computer but after taking out the drivers, (this is all done in safe-mode) uninstalling nividia's and adding ATI's, Windows still rebooted when it went to the loading page. So its not the card and its not really the Processor sicne the previous mobo was using an AMD also. So whats wrong with my motherboard? Is this a common problem or is wondows just confused on what to do and load that it gives up? please help me im very upset that I cant even get this hunk of nice new $400 parts to work...

This is very commem when you get a new motherboard with a diffeerent chipset.

95% of people will tell you to reinstall here, but its not nesscary via microsoft help page.

You will have to choose the Replace a Failed motherboard since you already switched out the mobo...(next time follow this guide from the beggening) then do a repair like it says.
 
hey lets see what happens, I will repost what happpens when i do this but when the other 95% of people are saying reinstall, are they saying "Reinstall your motherboard all over again" or " Format your HD and reinstall Windows" Im not quite sure...
