Hey all, i have a problem and nothing i do will fix it, nor do any normal sources i have always found helpful have any information on it. I have a Gigabye 7vax1394 motherboard and it wont install windows Xp in APCI Uniprocessor mode. this is the mode xp install detects and then it hangs after it has loaded all the kernal bits and says "Setup is now starting windows" this is in the text part of the install. Im running a Xp2200 and 256DDR 400mhz CL 2.5. i have set all the memory timings to the max relaxed settings. also flashed the bios, removed all the pci cards and turned off all unused hardware in the bios and none of this works. altho i can install XP in APCI mode by forcing it too by pressing F5 and selecting that HAL but i would much rather have the 24 IRQ's than the 15 im currently stuck with and get all the sharing of IRQ's that i am. So yeh i cant think of anything esle it just wont get pased that point in APCI Uniprocessor mode. and yes its enabled in the bios and also supported, i have two other comps with almost the same setup that use the 7vax board instead of the 7vax1394 and they have no such problem. anyone have any clues????
Thanks all
