the odd thing is my pc works fine with sp1. no hang ups no problems. why would sp2 change all that? and i am not using x64 XP.

here are my specs, gigabyte k8n-pro sli athlon 64 3200 ati x800gto 1gb geil ddr 400 200gb sata hd every time i try to install xp2 windows will not boot up. the bios will load, get to the 'verifying dmi pool data' then reboot. i've checked gigabyte's page to see if it's a mobo issue and they have nothing on their site. i have the new bios, F8, is the version. i did a clean install and then downloaded from winupdate. i also tried loading default settings to the bios and the same problem occured. i also got a real slip streamed disc from microsoft and the install still did not work. thanks
