I formatted my New hard drive and loaded Windows Xp. i updated windows and all the drivers. It was running great untill last night. all of the sudden the screen goes black and a little white line starts blinking in the upper left hand corner. It will boot up fine now and then when i try to do something it crashes like that.

some systems have reported some problems with sp2, did you save the files so you could uninstall it and see if that was the problem

PCChips M950 Mobo

Am sure you would have found a solution by now. But I would like to know how long you have been using this Mobo before this crash? U sure you have all the jumpers correctly?
