Re: [XP Home] Mobo swap without repair install said by lmacmil:The mobo on the XP box sometimes takes several attempts to boot, freezing on the BIOS screen right after it says "detecting IDE drives." Boot failure occurs more often on warm starts than cold. Once running, it's very stable. Do you own a ATX PSU tester? If not, I suggest you invest in a decent one (under $20.00).
Also, get a good look at all the caps on the motherboards and look for any with swollen tops. Even a small bump on the normally flat tops is a bad cap that needs replacement.
Regards,
Doctor Olds
