System Keeps Rebooting GA-8IK1100
Hi,
I just put in a new mobo and cpu in my system. I'll give the specs below. When I boot up, it POSTs, properly detects my hard drives and cd-roms and then it goes to a prompt that tells me Windows did not properly load on the previous attempt. It asks me to select from normally starting Windows, or Safe Mode, or Safe Mode with Command Prompt or Safe Mood with Network Support. No matter which I select, the systems just reboots and we repeat this process over and over. What can be the problem? I have tried: 1. unhooking all IDE devices but my primary hard drive 2. putting the primary HD jumper to Master, Cable Select and none 3. using a different IDE cable My systems specs a Gigabyte mobo, GA-81k1100 P4 2.8 w/hyper threading 1 gig of memory (PC2700) installed in two channels WD Caviar 80 GB HD - master WD 40 GB HD - slave FDD Sony DVD burner Sony cd-rom Windows XP Professional Zoom 56K modem ATI Radeon 9200 128 mg video card I would appreciate any suggestions to get this baby up and running again! Thanks!! Sally |

Hi Sally,
Whenever you install a new motherboard, you have to either run a repair installation of Windows XP or better yet, format your OS partition and clean-install the operating system from scratch. There are just too many registry settings created when installing an operating system on particular hardware that will no longer be valid with a different chipset, CPU, other onboard chips, etc. that come with a new motherboard/CPU upgrade. Also, you have the 875P chipset and a CPU that supports an 800 MHz front side bus, but that PC2700 memory will limit you to a lower 533 MHz front side bus speed. Make sure that your BIOS bus speeds for CPU and memory are set for 133 (quad-pumped to 533) and not 200 (quad-pumped to 800).

Russell,
I changed the CPU Host Clock Control to 133. Is this correct? It still reboots, do I have to do a repair of XP now? Or should it boot to Windows?

Hi Sally,
You must do a repair install if you've installed a different motherboard and haven't formatted your hard drive and performed a clean operating system installation (which is preferred, by the way.) To perform a repair installation of Windows XP on a hard drive that was working before you changed out the motherboard, see the instructions on my web site at http://tastycomputers.com/support/fa...airinstall.htm.

Russell,
I will certainly let you know. I'm assuming that I did the right thing with the CPU since you didn't comment on that part of my post. And, I'm going to order some new memory that will work with my new MOBO and CPU!

Russell,
When I attempt to do this, it loads the necessary files and then reboots. It just won't stop rebooting! Any other suggestions?

Hi Sally,
Ok, what type of hard drive are you attempting to boot from (SATA or IDE), and to which port on the motherboard do you have it connected? (IDE1, IDE2, SATA SB0 or SATA SB1.) You must set your motherboard's BIOS to be able to boot from the drive. To verify this enter your motherboard's BIOS by pressing the DEL key during the initial POST routine. When you're in, select "Advanced BIOS Features" and set your hard disk boot priority, then set your 1st, 2nd and 3rd boot devices to include Floppy, CDROM and Hard Disk. Then go into the "Integrated Peripherals" submenu and make sure that any IDE/SATA ports are enabled, and IF your hard drive is an SATA drive, set the on-chip SATA to Manual, then set SATA0 as SATA Port 0 and SATA1 as SATA Port 1. Then set SATA RAID function to enabled, and Save and Exit your BIOS. No need to fiddle with SATA settings if you don't have an SATA drive installed. Also, if your boot hard drive is IDE, make sure that the master/slave jumper is set properly relating to where it is connected on the IDE cable. Start by viewing your BIOS setting as mentioned above, then re-try the repair installation. Let us know how things go. One more thing, when the repair installation reboots, DO NOT press any key to BOOT FROM CD when prompted, as that will start everything from scratch all over again. Let it try to boot from the hard drive by not pressing anything. Russell http://tastycomputers.com "juzuz" wrote in message hlink.net...

That will slow the CPU down from a 2.8 to a 1.8 You can set the memory multiplier to 3:4 of the CPU bus speed, keeping the CPU at 200 and the RAM down at around 160. Which works out to be 800FSB and DDR320. Steve |

I just put in a new mobo and cpu in my system. I'll give the specs below.
Old mobo?? Windows XP Professional Normally you have to make a repair of XP after you changed your motherboard. After it was successfull you have to install the latest INF-Update from intel. Udo Kammer |

So, I should boot from the CD and select to repair the installation? Is
this why it keeps rebooting? I thought I tried the suggestions Russel gave and changed the CPU Host Clock Control to 133. But it still reboots. Perhaps I should boot from the cd and attempt the repair? Old MOBO was an Asus P4S533. Thanks, Sally "Udo Kammer" wrote in message ... I just put in a new mobo and cpu in my system.
