Problem with XP when changing motherboard

[WSW]

I have a PC with ASUS P2B motherboard and it runs fine for couple of years with Windows XP.

I tried to change to a faster ASUS CUV4X motherboard but use the same hard drive with Windows XP. When I powered up with the CUV4X boar, after POST I got a flash of a blue screen and then the PC reboot. The blue screen flashed so fast that I cannot read the content. The PC will just reboot continuously with the CUV4X board. I know the CUV4X is a good board because it came from a working machine.

However, when I switched the old P2B board back into the PC, the PC booted correctly into Windows XP.

What causes this problem and how do I fix it?

Take a look at this thread. The problem is that Windows has the drivers/info for the old motherboard, not the new one, and thus can't boot.

You needto reformat when changing motherboards, you could of tried deleting all the motherboard drivers within windows, prior to changing the motherboard, and allow windows to reinstall new drivers, re-formatting is the much better option, that is a totally clean install.

No, you do not need to reformat. A repair reinstall of XP will take care of it just fine.
