Computer boot from bios to operating system

[StephenB]

Just installed an ASUS A8N-VM CSM motherboard with 2GB ram.  First booted up system  and got a CMOS checksum error.  Replaced battery and cleared CMOS.  Rebooted system.  Now itt goes from the bios screen to a screen which says Windows not shut down properly and gives several options on loading Windows.  When I select one of the options it goes back to the bios screen and so on.

it sounds like you changes the motherbaord without reinstalling windows
you need to do a reinstall
or it will load drivers for the old motherboard and will not boot

Boot to your XP CD and choose the SECOND repair option and perform a Repair Install
