Well I just built a new computer with the following specs:
AMD Barton 2500+
Epox 8rda+
2x256 apacer pc3200
saphire ati radeon 9500 128 mb
enlight case with 360w ps
maxtor 120gig 7200 rpm 8 mb cache
onboard sound, nic
Anyways I put it all together and I was installing XP Pro. The first couple times the setup program booted off the cd but after Id get to the screen where it said 'enter to install xp, r to repair, etc' Id hit enter and then it would blue screen. The blue screen error would switch between "IRQ not Less than or equal to" or like "paged memory in non page area". I tried switching out the memory sticks one at a time but that didnt fix the errors. Then I went on MS's website and they said to disable any type of bios shadowing, caching, virus protection, etc. I did that and it worked.
However now it goes to the screen with the EULA where it wants me to press F8 to accept it. Well I press F8 and nothing happens. All the other keys work, pg up and pg down and esc all function. The num lock, scroll, and caps lock all work. Ive tried two different keyboards, two different copies of XP, and a copy of windows 2000 and they all have the exact same problem. The next thing to do would be to upgrade the bios but I didnt have a bootdisk at the time. Any ideas what could be causing this?
