    Hi guys. I just got my new motherboard and CPU. 939 pin 64 bit.

    I tried doing a repair install of XP but it didn't work right. It kept saying that i couldn't read files from the CD but in fact the files were there and readable.

    Anyway, I did a fresh install on a test drive and I still had more problems. The install completed fine but at bootup of the fresh XP, there was some strange video corruption. I have changed my graphics card to an old GeForce 2 and now it boots up. Made this post with new setup.

    So, at this point I'm trying to see if there is a solution for this incompatibility between my graphics card and my new motherboard. (ATi 9600pro and MSI K8T NEO2 FIR)

    Wish me luck.

    Got the card working. Cleaned the contacts and reseated it.

    Sometimes the simplest solutions work.

    Even my 'XP repair' install is working. But I will do a fresh install soon.

    Another fresh install because the one I just did is on a spare ATA66 "test" drive.

    CPU $202 CDN.
    MB $165 CDN.
