I just bougth an ASUS P5GD1 mobo, an Intel P4 3Ghz, 1Gb RAM and a new XFX 6600GT Videocard. I swapped out all my "old" stuff and placed the new things. I booted up the machin and all was fine. XP started and offcourse I needed to install the Intel chipset stuff, video card drivers,etc but after that it all worked. The machine did seem to start slower then it should and in some games I got some lag, so I decided I would do a fresh install of Windows XP without the old software sitting in the way.
When I boot my machine from the XP CD (NEC 3500 DL DVD writer) I get the normal "Inspecting hardware...." message. This then turns into the normal blue "Windows Setup" screen. After that the machine freezes and I have to reboot.....
As I work in an IT company I have tried different XP cd's but there's no difference. I have also copied a XP CD to a harrdisk (FAT partition) and booted from a DOS floppy. Then in the i386 directory I start WINNT.EXE to setup XP. This all starts but when it want to "inspect the INF file", again the machine stops. Now either my new mainboard or videocard is faulty or there soemthing else going wrong......? Any one any idea's?
