Hi,
First check your ram sticks and make sure they are firmly
seated in the DIMM slots.
If you have 256MB X 2 DDR ram, try use only one ram stick
as the spec of the ram sticks may not be exactly matched.
If you only have one 512MB ram stick, try replace it with
other ram stick.
Secondly load default setting of the mobo BIOS then save
and exit.
Boot from the XP CD and press Enter to enter setup.
Press the F8 key to accept the license agreement.
Select delete existing OS to enter the format harddisk
screen. You can format and partition your harddisk here.
After format HD completed, follow the on screen
instructions to setup the OS.
Note: If you have other PCI cards to install, insert them
into the PCI slots before loading the OS. Refer to the
mobo user manual to choose the appropriate PCI slot(s) for
the PCI card(s)
Good luck.
