I had an old system running a BX440 motherboard and XP
running fine. I replaced my motherboard with an ASUS P4GE-V
board and a P4 2.4 ghz processor with 256 meg of PC2700
ram. On initial boot up the operating would not run so I
formatted the drive and reinstalled XP. It started up fine.
I installed the necessary motherboard drivers and XP was up
and running. I did a windows update and downloaded service
pack 1. The download completed and installation proceded.
Before completion, the pc rebooted without any notice.
After restarting the blue chkdsk screen came up and
truncated lots of files. After chkdsk completed the windows
XP boot screen appeared for a few seconds. A blue screen
briefly appears and then the system reboots. It will
continue this cycle indefinately. Even when booting in safe
mode, a short list of driver lines appear and then the
system reboots. Once again I reformatted the drive,
installed XP, downloaded SP1 and it happened again. What's
the deal???

Lot's have given up with sp1 because of the same reason
you have found out. As you know sp1 is a cumulative patch.
I would just go through the old updates and pick the ones
you need. Most all of them are for security reasons and if
your not on a network and you have a firewall you don't
even need.

SP1 may have decided it has 'better' drivers than the ones you
installed, because those were no 'signed' and the ones it has are
signed. So it has installed these, and they turn out not a good idea.

I would suggest doing a repair reinstall and then run SP1 and only
*then* the motherboard drivers

I think you had a spontaneous reboot and the fact that SP1 was
updating at the time was coincidental.

Spontaneous reboots generally involve either thermal, memory, power
suppliy or video driver problems.

Since you just did a mobo swap did you change the power supply
at the same time?
