Re: [XP Home] Mobo swap without repair install

If you are using an onboard Ethernet interface it is almost certain that you will have to reactivate XP.

I serious doubt it will ask for activation. What Windows will do and install the correct drivers and override the previous LAN drivers.

As for my suggestion, first swap out the power supply as that is the easiest. If that doesn't work and take any add-in cards (video, audio, etc) and work your way from there. If it is still acting up, you can also check the mobo's site and see if there's a BIOS update for that issue. Lastly, swapping mobos would be the best option if all others fail.
