Hi. I just got my Epox 8K7A motherboard with an AthlonXP 1800+ processor. I got 512 megs of PNY memory (it is certified for the board by CMTL). The problem is this: When I try to run the Windows XP setup program to update my installation of windows, it always locks up. It doesn't matter whether I boot from the floppy, CDROM, or if I copy all the files to my harddrive. I either get to the part where it asks whether I want to upgrade, or use the recovery console then it locks up when I make a choice, or sometimes I get past that, and then it locks up after I accept the Licensce Agreement. Please help, I have tried everything I can think of, changing BIOS settings to Fail-Safe and everything. Thanks in advance!
