Dear all,


I have a mother-broad  which has a PCIe Interface for video card and two PCI interface for network card. The network card can boot into windows XP when it is connected with the first PCI nearby the PCIe. However when connected with the second PCI, windows XP cannot normally boot, instead, it stopped after the  ">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>"  splash,  where is going to show the Windows XP logo.  Push the power button will resulted in a blue screen crash ( APCI.sys error, code 0x000000D1). The file ntbtlog.txt in C:\windows\ shows that the last driver windows loading is agp440.sys.


INTEL Pro1000 and RTL8169 network card are both tested under these circumstances and resulted the same. After modify the BIOS settings  for many many times that windows XP can enter desktop by random (even with the same BIOS setting).  In addition, Windows 7 can normally boot every time. 


I doubt it's the gPXE to blame for this problem, but found nothing to figure out how to solving the problem. Can anyone give me some suggestion?


Yours,
soforth
