Hi
Try to reformat the hard drive. install XP and then start with installing the new mother board drivers and continue installing the different hardware units on at the time. reboot after you have finish installing drivers for each unit, i nothing happens then, begin installing the software u are using and restart each time you have finished the install. if the computer halt after a re boot you should know what coursed the problem. And i would not thrust the live update to much i also had problems with the automatic update, so be carefully, to not chose ever update you can get your hands on, they sometimes faq up your system. My experience with SP1 is good, so i dont think that is the problem. Good Luck and don`t give up
