After installing new motherboard, I am unable to get my computer to boot. I am also having trouble getting my computer to boot from the CD rom so that I can run my setup CD that came with my motherboard. BIOS settings all look correct, post beep, everything seems fine, but I can not get Windows XP to boot.I get to the point that I get the message to start normally, safe mode, ect. Then the computer restarts. I've been unable to boot from floppy & CD rom
Is the new motherboard the same model with the one you have replaced. If so, there should have no problem on it. If it is different model, then you have to reconfigure the software installed such as the driver. your new motherboard surely has the CD included where the necessary software should be installed. But, the problem is that you cannot get to the WindowsXP screen..
Windows XP CD is also bootable.. Now in the bios setup there is a portion there that tells about on how to boot whether in drive a, hard disk or cd. Choose CD and inser the bootable Windows XP. In that way you should be able to get to the XP screen. Of course, you have to restart it to make the necessary changes but before that make sure you have saved the changes youve made to the bios setup.
Now if youre able to go to the main screen, uninstall software that are with your old motherboard and install the new one.
Hope to solve your problem.

that's weird, i havent experienced that yet. It should have work
because you have already put in the priority to boot in CD. Try to
disable other boot scheme like a: and hard drives.
Lastly, are you sure that your CD drive detected during booting or is
your CD itself malfunction.. I hope to solve your problem somehow.

The motherboard is not the same as the original, and even though the CD rom, Floppy Drive, & Hard Drive are reconized at start up. I can't get the computer to boot from any of them. I have changed the boot order so that the computer will try to boot from the CD rom first, and the CD that came with the motherboard is an autorun CD. But I am still unable to get it to run so that I can install drives for the new motherboard.
