wizurd of awwz Posted December 8, 2005 System specs in sig. I just upgraded from an Asus A8V Deluxe + A64 3000+ Venice to new items listed in my sig. I can get into bios and it tries to startup but will always come to a screen that says "Sorry for the inconvenience but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this." It then lists options such as Safe Mode, Start Normally, etc. None of these work. If I choose one it'll just reboot and start all over again. Not sure what else to list here that may be helpful for you guys to help me. I did run Memtest and it passed (currently only have 1 512mb stick in orange slot) and I don't have my IDE drive hooked up. I do plan on upgrading my RAM and PSU as well. Hope my PSU isn't holding me back right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mattjw916 Posted December 8, 2005 You can't "upgrade" a computer's motherboard to another model without reinstalling Windows. There are ways to do it, but it is a PITA and not worth the hassle IMHO... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrIONwoshMunky Posted December 8, 2005 Did you re-install windows on that SATA drive? Or are you using the old install from the previous build? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
