Ive built a new computer with an ecs 755a2 motherboard and amd athlon 64 3200+ cpu.
The problem is that every time i try to boot up, windows xp wont start.
The system boots up fine all the way until the screen with the black screen white letter windows logo comes up.
This screen wont come up. The system just restarts itself when its about to come up. With one of the hard drives it puts up a blue error screen with a code that ive read up to be a memory problem, but the memory works fine my other computer.
Ive used three different ide hard drives, three different sticks of 512 mb 184 pin memory, two different agp 4x and 8x video cards; all in different combinations.
All these components work fine on my other computer, so i know they are not the culprit.
I even exchanged the motherboard for a new one thinking that was the problem, with no avail, then the cpu also with the same result.
Ive come to the conclusion that none of my equipment is defective, but still have no idea what the problem is.
Im at my wits end- any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
