I've stumbled across a really bizarre occurrance with my Dell Inspiron 8200.
Just installed a clean copy of Windows XP Pro. Was working fine. While installing device drivers for my TrueMobile 1300 mpci, I was having trouble finding the upgraded version allowing WPA. Attempted to install a bunch of different drivers, non of which completed install because compatible hardware wasn't found.
Next time I rebooted, Windows frooze w/ splash screen and blue rabbit light bar.
Rebooted again and system would only take keyboard input for about 1-2 seconds before freezing again for about 10 seconds.
I'm at the point where I finally coerced it into a safe boot, and attempting to do a system restore.
Has anyone ever seen this happen before? What's the cause?
