Re: New Motherboard with bad drivers making it restart?

Reinstall the entire OS.

It may have detection trouble. Any Plug and Pray devices that you may have plugged in but not prayed?


Also, it does not restart. It gives you the "Blue Screen of Death". That usually shows where the problem is.

Disable automatic restart upon system failure.

When you install a new motherboard you need to do a repair install to remove the old drivers and reset the HAL config.> http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm#RI

If you have a OEM copy of Windows you will legally need a new license as by the EULA the original is tied to the first motherboard installed on, Retail version is different.
