It depends, if your previous BIOS had customizations made to it
then "Default" values on the new MB won't match. Defaults turn
on most all the on-board peripherals. If that's the case, then your
existing XP instance won't necessarily have drivers for all those at
startup and could account for the "Freeze" as XP tries to initialize
the peripherals.
BIOS configurations vary, but most times the Peripheral setups
will be in a recognizable category (Advanced, Peripheral Devices).
