Hi,
I am having a problem with my computer. I built it my self using the ASUS P5 WHD motherboard, intel core 2 duo running at 2.13Ghz, 300GB HDD, 1024MB or RAM. The first OS I installe was a trial version of Windows Server 2003 Enterprise edition. I had no problems what so ever. I decided to remove it and install windows XP pro. The setup went through without a problem but I have not been able to go beyond the splash screen. I was looking through the FAQ on the ASUS website and found that there are known problems with the MB BIOS recognizing Intel Core 2 Duo. I thought this might be the problem but checked the bios and it does recognize the type and frequency of the CPU. The pc also worked with windows 2003 server so I figure the bios is not the problem. I then read a previous post here with some1 who had the same problem and his problem was the video card. The only problem is how can i update the drivers if i cant boot to the os to begin with? Can I do it through dos? any instructions out there?
Let me know thanks.
