System : ( Old) Panrix, 1.3 AMD, Gigabyte GA-7DX board ; System would hang maybe
once a month with Win2K, but hourly after upgrading to XP home. Took out non-XP SCSI
disk & Promise Raid ctlr, but no change. Tried the fix suggested in this thread -
loading 'Standard PC ' driver - on rebooting, the screen resolution was back at 800x600,
& the new hardware wizard rediscovered what few hardware items were still connected.
Device manager no longer offered ACPI PC as an option, so bottled out & went back
to last restore point ( fortunately from previous day, more fortunately, it worked..
).
If you still want to try this, check your latest restore point first. Possibly reinstalling
the OS is preferable to reloading all the drivers with the new hardware wizard.
