Installing new CPU/Motherboard
My system had a pre-installed OEM version of XP Pro. The
motherboard got fried but the hard drive was undamaged.
I installed a new MB/CPU and Power Supply, but it will not boot,
not even to Safe Mode. I verified the drive was OK by booting it
on another machine, purchased at the same time as the fried one.
The old MB was a PCChips M863G with Athlon 2400+. The new one is
a VIA board with AMD Sempron. Any suggestions as to what the
problem is and how to fix it? All help appreciated.
