Re: hang on the boot up grogress bar

Does your replacement Motherboard BIOS settings match the
original one ? You mentioned your NIC wasn't enumerated, so
I would think you've got on-board peripherals enabled/disabled
that do not match the previous MB. I would probably enter
BIOS setup and disable COM, Serial, Parallel, Sound, NIC
and get the PC to boot. Go to Device Manager, Click View -
tic/check "Show Hidden Devices". Go through each category
except Sound and remove any Phantoms. Then re-enter BIOS
setup and re-enable the peripherals you need one at a time.
