Silkroad Online Forums

I read the sticky at the top of this forum so jus hear me out plz. Ive installed and reinstalled this game at least 8 times. Ive cheked and rechecked all my system specs. I even uninstalled my XP Service Pack 2, just for good measure. But everytime i try to start SRO, it goes just pass the gameguard init. and restarts my cpu. Maybe it is gameguard, im not sure. Everytime i install, an error message comes up during the gameguard setup saying it cant be authenticated and asks me to reboot. I have. several times. Ive downloaded drivers, chipsets, and patches. Nothing is working. I kno my system can run silkroad, because it has before. I jus dont know why its not
