winxp freeze at install asrock k7vt2
Could any one please help. I have looked through various info and help threads and pages to no avail. I have an AMD Athlon 2400 XP+ on an ASRock K7VT2 and it was running fine on win2000, but due to some new software i ascertained i needed to update OS to winXP. So i first tried to install over the top of 2000 to the tune of a windows freeze at the "now starting windows XP" stage. So i formatted the harddrive and did a fresh install, everything seemed to go well right up to the "now starting windows" bit were the copmuter freezes. The nums cap light stays on with no other keyboard responses, even after switching off the computer the numcap light stays on! The previous owner said they never had much joy at trying to update to winXP, but i thought i would have a go since i have a few computers that need to be independantly bootable but running on the same OS for ease of networking . What am i doing wrong?
