The system halts in safe mode on \windows\apppatch\drvmain.sdb
This is a compatability problem, I think.
Could it be that I have got to reinstall the system from scratch? or does something scream out that's wrong?

Others may disagree but I never swap a motherboard and not do a clean re-install after. It will solve alot of headaches in the future and it's the easiest way to ensure a stable system afterwards.

I've swapped a mobo twice now, without a clean install.
Then I put up with multiple errors/crashes/FUBAR's.
Eventually, I just format, start from scratch, and everything wrks fine. New mobo, new install, that's the only right way to do it. Although I've fought it, I know I won't win, losing battle man.
