I have one of the most puzzling problems that no one to date has been able to resolve: I am trying to build my own system with the following
Asus Motherboard A7V333
AMD 2000+
512 DDR Ram Generic (also tried branded NEC ? still same problem ? see below)
Western digital HD 120GB 8MB Cache
LG DVD / CD Rom
LS120 floppy
Prophet II 64MB DDR 250MHz Video card
All absolutely band new.
What is the problem you ask? I can?t install winXP or 2000 on the HD. It tries to install and hangs at various locations during ?set up is reading file XXX? then hangs. On occasions, it contiunues until it reaches windows is now starting installation and hangs.
I removed the HD and installed it in a different machine, installed XP then returned it to the first pc and now it comes with a dangerous blue screen saying ?windows has detected an error and stopped to protect the system?. The error varies between stop 0x0000007b, stop 0x0000008b and so on. I looked at Microsoft web site and it says it related to IRQ conflict?etc. All rubbish as I have nothing on the machine. I even disabled from the motherboard jumpers the sound capability, USB capability, removed the DVD and LS120 (since the op system has already been installed from another machine) and it still refuses to boot. I can?t even flash the bios because as it starts to read A drive, it hangs. On occasions, when I enter the bios it hangs, so I have to shut down, clear the cmos and re-enter the bios.
Microsoft says they can?t help as it is not their problem, motherboard says it could be memory (changed it no luck), HD is working?..what the heck is the problem.
