I have a similar problem, I'm upgrading the motherboard, cpu, and video card on a friend's computer and when I attempt to boot the system I get an error message Verifying DMI Pool Table and the boot process hangs, can anybody help me out with how to fix this error as I don't know how to update the DMI to accept the new hardware. I installed an AMD Athlon X2 dual core processor, a K8 Triton motherboard, and a Geforce 7800 GT OC videocard. Also the computer has XP Pro installed.
