Does anyone KNOW how to fix the blue screen error that is created when you replace a motherboard that was an AMD that fried with an INTEL Motherboard CPU running Windows XP Pro?

Looking for a way to make this system run again after the motherboard died and it starts to boot Windows with the logo then it blue screens and reboots the system.

I know that the hard drive is fine also because the fried AMD was healthy enough to boot up, but when the system warmed up it would LOCK up tight. The AMD Processor had a blister on it on the waffer and I am amazed that it booted at all.

It looks like Windows needs to be told to use an INTEL CPU instead of the AMD that it had.

Thanks for suggestions to get this back up and running.Do a repair install (Boot to the XP CD and choose the SECOND repair option).

Ideally you should do a clean install after changing mobo's, but a repair install should work.Hello Allan,

   I tried that and followed the instructions as well as checked out http://support.microsoft.com/kb/307654

   At the blue Windows installation menu I pick R for repair. Then when it starts the repair console I pick 1 for "1: C:\Windows" the installation location, then hit the ENTER key at the Enter password prompt as administrator there is no password and MS states to just pres the enter key. It then places me at C:\Windows> and I am not sure what to run next to repair this installation. I ran FIXBOOT and it ran and then I RESTARTED it and still it gets to the windows logo and hits a blue screen with a hex dump error code and reboots.

So not sure what I need to do next to repair windows. Attached is a screenshot of the screen I am at....

* I tried running d:\i386\winnt32.exe /cmdcons but it wouldnt run from the OEM Windows XP Pro CD. And so I navigated to the CD and saw that all the files are compressed and tried to make a directory called i386 at the C:\ and it stated Access Denied so it appears to be that the C:\ drive is write protected.

[Saving space, attachment deleted by admin]You picked the 1st "R", not the 2nd "R" as Allan said.

You don't want the Recovery Console, following these instructions:
