hey there. i recently upgraded my old emachines 420 pc. i bought 2gb of memory and a new motherboard and got a free geforce 4 mx440 off a friend to use.

the old motherboard is a trigem imperial motherboard which hp and emachines use in their pc's ( m-atx). i replaced it with an ASUS P4V800D-X board. see here. anyway i'm quite sure everythin is setup correctly. there are no errors given. the pc manages to Power on self test, but will not boot into windows, i just get an instant reboot. i have tried safemode etc so i'm really not sure whats wrong. any ideas please?
 
HDDs are plugged in properly. DIMMs are fine too. =/ . no luck. tried using an old 256mb of ram and it was detected fine etc. but windows still won't boot. it goes past POST and then gives me the last known good configuration and safe mode options. none of which work.
