I am having a terrible time installing XP with this mobo. I had a bad stick
of DDR RAM and replaced it. I have swapped out the video card, hard drive
and removed sound card, modem, disabled onboard, LAN, sound, serial,
parallel, and usb and still can't install XP. I am about to give up and
never try an AMD system again. I have been working on PCs for over 10 years
and this one has me stumped. I have a 180 day XP Pro CD and also a Win2000
CD, so I will try them next. But lots of errors during and after install.
I have never had this problem with Intel CPUs and Chipsets.
