BSOD's on new build when installing XP

[marmasatt]

Anyone have any experience with this one?

The build went fine on an Asus P5KPL-CM board with an e7400 and 4 Gigs of 1066 Fatality OCZ. Boots up just fine. I immediately updated Bios to accomodate the newer processor. I can access Bios options fine but when I try to install XP PRO I get the PFN_LIST_CORRUPT BsOD. A google search shows that alot of peope fixed the error by swapping memory but I don't have any other sticks at the moment to test. Is this a sign of bad/incompatible Ram?

It did that the first 2 or 3 tries and now I can actually get to he loading DLL screens but then I get a BSOD of PCI.sys....People fixed that one by using XP that at least has SP2 in it - but I'm already using that.

I think I can figure it out sooner or later by disabling bios options and what not or eventually swapping ram, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You're right... that memory is NOT on the Asus QVL for that MB.

Can you boot with just one stick?
If so, try upping the VDIMM in the BIOS to accomodate the other sticks.

If not, get something on their QVL.

Most of the problems I've had with blue screens while installing XP have been memory related.

Well, I figured this out. I actually was torn in a bunch of different directions between disabling bios options, and changing ram, etc. I actually hit F6 during the XP load up screen to load the special drivers, SCSI/SATA, etc and I think that is what did it. I guess some SATA drivers aren't enabled by default with older XPs (although this was SP2) so adding the extra stuff worked. Thought I'd report back for others. Thanks.
