My setup:
-GA-8KNXP
-P4 2.8, 800FSB
-Corsair TwinX1024-3200LLPT 1GB DDR400 XMS3200 Dual Channel
-Seagate Barracuda 7200 40 GB, then tried a Maxtor ultra133 7200 80 GB
My problem:
-cannot get a clean install of either XP Professional or 2000 Professional, and cannot get a properly functioning Windows environment
My errors:
-initial setup will not be able to copy certain random files
-many stop errors in the process
-if I get into Windows to complete the setup, I still get stop errors...sometimes fatal, runtime errors, catalog errors, etc.
-if Windows installs and I get all devices installed, I get still more stop errors and other errors.
In bios, nothing is overclocked, hyper-threading was tried both ways (enabled/disabled)...
Oh dear lord, it's driving me mad. Any suggestions would me much appreciated. While I search for tips, tricks, hints, etc. to get this combo working correctly and a cleanly installed OS, could someone...anyone let me know how the Frequency section of my BIOS should be set up (CPU freq, mem, AGP, etc.)?
I am sure this board is awesome and would love to try it out, but these are some strange errors.
