i am RUNNING winxp pro and have updated all my drivers and bios. when i try to load sp2 i get into a boot loop.
i am running a AMD athlon 64 3200+ processor.
geforce fx 5200-8x 128meg video card.
help help if you can or have more questions.Which came first.......i have added newhardware.......or sp2 update?why have you updated the bios........did winxp fail to load?/
micro soft told me when i got in contact with them that my bios and some of my drivers were out of DATE. when i tried to load win xp sp2 again the same boot loop happened again. now they are telling me to go into safe mode without some of my drivers loaded and see if it will load again. i guess this is a process of ELIMINATION. it has been very time consuming to do this. and when i went thru this process, and eliminated. all the drivers and restarted by allowing each driver to load the last one that got me into the boot loop was the video driver. got back in contact with gforce again they ASSURED me that the driver i had was current and up to date, and should allow sp2 to load. i said it didn't and they got MAD at me. so here i sit with the same problem. searching for help. i hope this answers some questions.
waiting for your responce.
and thank for your help.
