Hello, folks.
i have a problem on an older PC i'm resurrecting to make a server PC full of hard drives after finding enough pieces to get it working. the mobo is a gigabyte 8KNXP, the CPU is a 478 Prescott@ 3.0GHz with 2Gb generic RAM and an old 7600 GS GeForce w/512Mb. PSU is 450W EZCool. i must point out that i've kept these bits in storage and was only waiting for a time to set it up. it used to be fully operational some three/four years ago.
the installation CD i use is a fully unattended one, meaning i've put in all the required info in a file and the XP setup reads from this file, saves time and you don't have to be there with product codes etc.
so after it's done installing all the files for XP, it's time for its first reboot and it gets back up to the "applying windows settings" and then mysteriously reboots.
any ideas as to why it does this?
as i said, it's never done this before, and i have been installing PX for years now and it's never happened.
thanks for any help
EDIT: i forgot to mention that i've slipstreamed SP3 into the XP disc, i don't know if that makes any difference or not
