A digital misfit

Anyone got any clues to help me track down why WinXP isn’t booting on my shiny new box? I think I’ve narrowed it down to graphics drivers (Abit Radeon X600Pro256) or networking (builtin gigabit ethernet, or, more likely, firewire networking), but sadly even safe mode isn’t working any more, so I’m a bit stumped. Just installing Win2k atm, to see if that behaves better.

  1. Because you’ve automaticaly installed Linux ???

    safe mode isn’t working any more So the box has been running – What have you changed recently ? (or changed prior to the last re-boot if you leave the machine on for ages)

    If that fails, loose everything that is non essential to boot up, then slowly put things back until it breaks.
