WinXP crashing in IE6 !

[phil80]

plz i need help people... i have been running winxp without no problems at all (except slowdowns 😉) with my old pentium 3 450, 392 RAM and riva tnt 2 ultra gfx card... now i just changed my motherboard to put a 1600+ athlon xp in it. i also put a geforce 2 ti 64mb ddr and a 40gb ibm deskstar in it.
and oh my god, after the whole day that it took to set it up (i'm no expert 😉). i just can't get to run smooth with internet explorer 6.

hell winxp and all my gamez work great but i just can't get ie6 to download shit... when i do, the comp resets on its own 🙁 😡

Go to RUN and type sfc

and click ok


SFC = system file checker

Hope that helps

I would STRONGLY, emphasis on STRONGLY recommend you format & reinstall XP. NT products do NOT like having hardware like the motherboard swapped like that. There are devices installed which an NT product (meaning NT/2k/xp) finds, installs and forgets about, never reverifying it's the proper device or driver. If your IE problem is not related to that, chances are something else will. So do a backup, format and reinstall. At the VERY least, do a fresh install over the existing one.

xp wouldnt even boot with my new config...

im running it on a new 40gb hard drive. i even updated the bios then reinstalled xp... the same problem came up 🙁

 

[phishhead]

did you format the drive before you reinstalled if not might have some leftovers

 

[phil80]

Yes I did. A full reformat (not quick).
