Loading forever on XP screen.

[GOD'SlittleSERVANT]

After reboot it takes awhile on the XP screen. Sometimes it just reboots again. this is after i installed new cpu, mobo, ram, and vid card. Specs are below...

you did format your hard drive and reinstall winXP after changing all that hardware, correct?

if it was just the cpu, or even with the ram and video, you might be okay. But anytime you change the motherboard you should be reinstalling windows.

anyeone else know what the problem could be?

Did you OC your system? If you did, this could be a sign that the settings you have are unstable.

sounds hard drive related...check to make sure your hard drive isn't stuck in PIO mode.

device manager - ide/atapi - primary (or whichever your HD is on) IDE - advanced settings and make sure it says it's not running in PIO mode. If it is switch it or if that won't work right click the primary ide and uninstall the driver, then reboot and it should work.

never overclocked and just checked if it was in PIO mode....its not. Damn anything else? I appreciate the help guys.

What mobo did you go with?

It's probably your network connection. Disable all your network connections/cards and see what happens.
