XP RC2 Startup

This is a discussion about XP RC2 Startup in the Windows Hardware category; I have an odd problem. Currently, when I initially turn on my machine and boot into XP it just locks up for not reason. Keyboard does not function and mouse stops moving. After a cold Restart everything runs fine.

I have an odd problem. Currently, when I initially turn on my machine and boot into XP it just locks up for not reason. Keyboard does not function and mouse stops moving. After a cold Restart everything runs fine. There does not appear to be any conflicts in device Manager. Has anyone else encountered this at all? I read something about the Intellimouse Explorer and the USB Hub on the boards and that happens on one of my other boxes so it sits on a PS2 port now with no problems. This sort of bothers me a little bit since everything is brand new. Any Ideas?

SuperMicro p3-dde
1 gig of Ram

Visiontek GF3
400 watt PS

nice setup i might say.
 
try taking out a stick of ram, remove all unimportant software/hardware, make sure that you don't have your gf3 overclocked....did you start noticing this when you first installed? or did it recently start happening?

OP
Well, it started after the install. Win2k worked fine without any problems. I have 3 dimms out of the four slots. I will give that a shot though, but I thought that was because of the Via Apollo pro 133A Chipsets. The geforce is not overclocked. As a matter of fact I am looking for a program that does that to try it out. Is that NVMax?
 
Thanks!
