Old School Problem

[monkeypants]

H'ok here's the deal:

2x 450Mhz/100/512 Pentium 3s
Compaq AP550 motherboard with VRM
512Mb RDRAM
Win98SE

When I boot up, both CPUs are recognised but in Windows only one is found. What do I need to do to get both working?

Installing XP pro, it said something about hardware incompatibility, I ignored it and carried on but after the restart and it's preparing the installation, the screen blanks, gets a red patch on it and a few letters/numbers (randomly) then switches off.

Anyone know my problem?

I couldn't find anything specific about the incompatibility, but the graphics card has been running on XP Home in a previous life.

OK, now with Server 2003 it's turning off during the installation, I'll try again later when I've only got one PC running on the power socket. If it's not the power, what might it be?

No idea about the exact model of the motherboard, but the time out thing worked.

Now, it's not recognising PS/2 devices so I can't boot it. :/

EDIT: It works with just the keyboard plugged in...
