Win2k freezes on bootup, even from CD during “repair”. Changed m/b, cpu, ram, video card, power supply, kb, mouse; drives verify ok; using Adaptec SCSI RAID (AAA-131U2) – took everything else out of system. Freezes at “loading windows” as soon as it goes into graphic mode. How can I diagnose, or force repair? I’m pretty sure it’s not hardware at this point..

You can’t replace the m/b and expect OS to load. Different hardware HAL and drivers.
You need to do a repair install. You go past the first option of repair and head toward install. When you get the choice of new install or repair existing choose existing.
