There is a Jul-20-2005 bios version. Are you running this?

And the XP Chipset drivers?

i dont know if i am running this specific bios version i bought the pc 1 month ago. what about the xp chipset drivers first time i hear about that!!!

Your bios version should be listed on the first screen you see when powering up the machine.

If the chipset drivers for XP aren't on any software provided with the machine, and they're not loaded, I'd download them, make a restore point, then load them.
