I just put into my computer a new motherboard (Asus A7V600), cpu (athalon 2400+), and new memory sticks (1gb corsair). I reinstalled windows xp without any problems. After the reinstall I rebooted as told to and when I go to "windows xp is loading" screen it takes me to the "you have incorrectly shut down your computer" screen where I can choose safe mode, normal mode, or the last working configuration. After I choose one (does the same for all) the computer gives me a beep and reboots and goes back to the same screen, "you have incorrectly shut down your comptuer." It keeps doing this, like an endless loop. Any suggestions?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Boot problem.

yeah - there's XP with SP1... did you try booting with your old RAM? you should give it a try...
Yes, but a good online retailer would note it as a special note in the desciption. Also a retail store box would have it written on it somewhere. OR you can order the SP1 CD from Microsoft for the cost of s&h wich is 10US.
As for your booting problem, the only thing that I could think of is check your BIOS settings and make sure that everything is set correctly(boot sequence and the like). Sorry I am not much help.
