That used to happen to me because some XP file was damaged.
edit2: Also, motherboards have layers, one of them could have been damage without any visible effect.
exactly
xp uses cpu serial numbers in it's activation file thing,
so the cpu serial number changed when it got replaced the wpa file was no longer valid
but you can turn them off
