Do not replace the motherboard, XP installation CD does not start even

First: I am a complete Windows user no, I program and works exclusively with Linux, so I have little experience with issues licenses and the WGA behavior.  This is probably going to be long, and I apologize.

The computer of my mother, about 7 years old with less than 500 MB of memory reported and a 1 GHz AMD x86_64 processor, took too long to do something, and I could hear the beating of disc on almost any operation, so at Christmas, I suggested that she order some upgraded hardware.  I checked with her that she had the original installation media, used by the person who set up your computer, and then we ordered a new combination of mother/CPU card and 4 GB of memory.  The new processor is always x86_64 and has an EIDE interface.  The IDE HDD is the master on the IDE one bus, and the CD/DVD device is the slave.

I followed the instructions to the: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/824125

The first thing that happened is that he told me that this installation media is older than the installed operating system, so it would not be able to perform the 'upgrade', only a new resettlement, which clearly, we do not do so because all the data from my mother is on the single partition on this IDE drive it.  Is it because that is not the original installation disc, or it means that something (perhaps a network-downloaded 'service pack'?) changed software installed to the point that the original install CD doesn't know what to do?  If this is the last, means that install CD are useful that as long as no significant changes are made to the system?

So, then, I decided to Exchange material anyway and see what happened.  I removed the old motherboard and put in the new, hung the Ribbon IDE and started.  The machine went into a loop of reboot by which it would ISSUE, begin to read the hard disk, flash may be a bit of a boot image from Windows (a fraction of a second, in fact less than a cycle of vertical refresh complete as part of the screen should be painted before disappearing), then a bluescreen with multiple lines of text appeared for a fraction of a second then it should reboot again.  My father suggested sitting in front of it with a camera and try to photograph the text screen so that we can read, but that seemed likely to end in frustration.

Then, I tried starting the original installation, CD, based on the assumption that I could follow the second set of instructions in this page of Microsoft above and pretend the old motherboard had not experienced a catastrophic without any possibility of preparation failure.  The installation CD, a disc with a holographic surface that is called 'Windows XP Home Edition' and includes the number of '2002' on the face, could not start exactly the same way (the display text could have been different, as both were illegible, but it was about the same amount of text and blinked on the screen in the same a short way until the computer resets).

I thought that maybe the power supply was insufficient for the new machine, so I tested the material with a Linux boot CD, which started perfectly.  Now, the Linux CD was burned in 2008, not in 2002, it has the advantage of having been written with new hardware platforms in mind.

I now swapped the old motherboard, and start-up of the computer again to the old, slow down the behavior.  I told her that I have no way to proceed, and that she would have to take all the pieces to a specialist in Windows to do things again.  I have the opportunity to make another attempt in a week, if anyone can tell me how to do this job.

So, what could I do, or ask him to do, to solve this problem ourselves?  Is it possible to create a CD that can be used to upgrade the old motherboard to the new?  I understand that Windows XP is no longer supported, so I fear that a registered technician may be contractually forbidden to get the job of the computer.  I don't want to put an end to the removal of all of its installed software or lose its settings, bookmarks WWW and so on.

If I do a fresh install of something, I think that perhaps it would be better just to go in a different way.  I could install Linux on the machine, then set up a KVM virtual machine and install Windows XP in this.  No doubt the virtual material presented by KVM is generic enough that the old CD would be happy to install it, and it would give the advantage of being able to point its Windows State control so that she could always relax while problems due to infections by malicious software or a sloppy software upgrade/installation.  However, I don't know the legality of it.  My mom had a Windows XP computer and this procedure would end with always have a Windows XP computer, but I think that this could still be banned.

This is the story.  Thanks for the solutions, or some clarification of misconceptions that I could express my very limited experience with Windows-based.

EDIT: the replacement motherboard is this one: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138195

With more that 3 GB of physical RAM installed may or likely to cause a condition of bluescreen when you try to install or repair Windows XP.  It would be wise to limit the amount of installed RAM 3 GB or 2 GB.

  • Windows will not start after replacing the motherboard

    To begin, I must say that I am pretty clueless when it comes to computer skills.

    To summarize, I sent my CPU to a repair shop when my computer has stopped working. I removed my hard drive before starting the repairs because it contains confidential data.  They have narrowed the cause to a faulty motherboard and replaced by a new dissimilar.
    At the store, the guy had a vista 64 bit recovery disc so I have it home and tried to fix it. He said it will be a breeze and relatively bug free. As part of the Startup Repair, I tried to drive the Startup Repair, and tests were all successful except one. An error of diagnosis readings
    "Unspecified system configuration changes may have caused the problem.
    Repair action: repair and checking the integrity of system files
    Result: failed. Error code 0 x 490
    time taken = 720023 ms
    Everything I've done has led to a brief blue screen to the Windows loading screen and then it restarts itself.
    I also tried to restore to the previous two points, but it has also led to the square - a brief blue screen after the loading screen and restarts on its own windows. I'm not ready to reinstall vista and I can't afford to do it too, because I don't have enough disk space to perform another installation. Nor am I willing to reformat one of my two disks.
    If you need additional information on the specifications of the material that must be provided, ask me.
    IM at my end intelligence now, and I really hope to solve this problem.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    I'm sorry, but you have to completely reinstall the operating system after replacing the motherboard with a different motherboard.

    "Startup Repair" is exactly that: a start NOT a repair system repairs

    What has happened, it is the operating system on your hard disk contains the drivers for the old motherboard and does not and you can't change drivers in doing what you do.

    The only way to solve this problem is to reinstall Vista.

    You wipe the hard drive and restart and make sure that the repair shop gave you the disc to install the new drivers of motherboard after you reinstall vista or download on the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard.

    And here a question for you to consider, too.

    If you bought a copy of Vista retail yourself, you can use the method above to a new installation and then install the new disk motherboard drivers.

    But, if your computer is a trademark of purchased manufacturer, HP, Toshiba, etc., you can not change the motherboard that the license of Vista OEM is stuck at motherboard the origin of the manufacturer that it has been installed on and now you canceled your Vista license.

    See you soon.

  • Impossible to reinstall Vista after replacing the motherboard

    I have replace my mobo last week.  I still have the same hard disk, cpu and RAM.  After starting my computer to the top, she would not accept vista for some reason any (I don't remember why) he did without BSOD for half a second, and then restart.  I find out one of my RAM sticks, lock was not engaged.  I fixed that, but it did not work.  I tried the system repair and recovery system, but they do not work.  I tried to reinstall vista with my recovery disks.  I reformatted the hard drive and complete the installation.  When the computer reboots, it said I had a system configuration error and I had to contact my computer manufacturer.  Of course HP could not help me because I have replaced the motherboard. I'm able to run my conputer because I installed ubuntu later. Everything works. My question is, when I have windows 7, I have to but the commercial version or do the upgrade?

    You will need a full retail version of Windows 7 or you could just buy a license for Windows 7 system builder OEM.

  • Want to 800-060: reactivation after replacing the motherboard

    I bought a HP Envy 800-060 with Windows 8 pre - install Amazon in July of 2013. It was an incredible computer since that time, and when the free update of Windows 8 for Windows 10, I did immediately released. Recently, however, the motherboard has failed on the computer. It would not stay same POSITION, and after much troubleshooting, I finally decided to replace the motherboard. Now that the computer is running again, I guess that the motherboard change was sufficient for the operating system to think that it is no longer enabled. I was never provided with a key of Activation of OS (Win8 has been pre-installed), and Microsoft has suggested that I contact HP to find the original key. I've looked everywhere on the chassis and inside the tower for a valid Windows activation key, nothing helps. I tried to find a phone number to call for support, but my product is outside the guarantee. I don't need advice or troubleshooting tips (so I don't pay the $59.99), all I need is my activation key valid Windows based on my serial number of the product. Anyone know the best way to achieve HP with this problem and have it is resolved?

    Thanks in advance!

    The unfortunate, is that your original product key has been incorporated in the firmware original by HP motherboard UEFI when the PC was built.  There is no way to recover this key now.

    HP retains no record of keys to individualized product corresponding to individual computers, so they won't be able to provide you with the original key - and they are under no obligation to provide you with a SECOND key, that you didn't do the replacement of HP hardware.

    With the product now being out of warranty, it's really call HP or not you upload support - and the experience I have had with older equipment-, they do that, there's just no way around IDs.

    HP customer support is really the only way you have to get support.  If they don't help you for free, because your PC is out of warranty, there is nothing we can do about it on this forum.

    Unfortunately, it is not easy to help you with this. As you probably know it's user forum for this kind of info is not easy to find.
    I don't know where you want to get the new motherboard, but if you want to buy it by some authorized service they should now what they offer.

    I don't know if anyone here has the same machine and can help you with this. What you can try is to contact the nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help.

  • a610n - fan error of the system after replacing the motherboard

    Hi all

    I just replaced the motherboard on my system (phone http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Hardware/M2N68-LA-Narra-2-Replacement/td-p/3711774) and now I get this error when starting: Fan failure system, PC service to avoid any damage. I thought it was the CPU fan but he was running and after some research, I realized that he could talk a case fan.

    As a side note, the motherboard, I had was a little different and missing 2 connections that seem to be the front mic/headphone and USB ports.

    Now, the case's fan then what really is the problem? Any ideas anyone?

    Thank you

    -Panos

    The rev3.02 of M2N68 - THE Committee a case fan rear 3 poles. See here.

    The CPU fan is a 4 pin cable and attaches to the appropriate header to 4 pins on the motherboard. See the representative schema above.

  • Qosmio F10: RAM upgrade issue after replacing the motherboard

    In 2006, when my F10 - 128 fell down as a fault of the video card, Toshiba has replaced the motherboard (865 PM) of my F10 by a new one with the video card installed in Go 6600.
    When I came back, I noticed that the same RAM modules have been installed (2 x 512 MB DDR 333 Mhz) as I previous had on the old motherboard.

    Then, I assumed that I could easily upgrade to DDR2 RAM, I realized that this type of RAM supported by the new motherboard installed (915 PM?). But the modules DDR2 Ram (Kingston 1 GB SODIMM (KVR533D2S4 - 1 G) 533 MHz) that I ordered is simply not in the storage media... The notch in the module is placed differently that the modules of RAM DDR.

    If the jury has been replaced by a newer version, with the video card Go 6600 (PCIexpress), how is, I have a Council that can not support DDR2?

    Here, I am really confused. Someone at - it advice please?

    > If the jury has been replaced by a newer version, with the video card Go 6600 (PCIexpress), how is, I have a Council that can not support DDR2?
    I think the jury is still supported DDR2 memory modules, but the allocation of the memory pins could be different.

    You should contact the ASP in your country and ask for the compatible modules.

    I tried everything I could find here on this issue without any results. Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is excatly the case.

    I got a new motherboard and CD/DVD player put some time ago.
    How can I make it work again?

    A.

    > Then I read somewhere on this forum that this recovery cd would not work if the laptop has been repaired and has a new motherboard. This is exactly the case.

    Who replaced the motherboard? THE ASP?

    Well, usually the recovery CD should work after the replacement of the motherboard.
    I presume that the parts have been replaced with exactly the same parts and so it should t be a conflict between the recovery and the new motherboard CD.
