Here's my system's specs:
MSI KT3 ULTRA-ARU (MS-6380E-020) VIA KT333 DDR ATA133 SocketA MOTHERBOARD - RETAIL
Chaintech G4Ti4200-VTD (MS-8871 8871-020) GeForce 4 Titanium 4200 DDR/SDRAM 128MB
AMD ATHLON XP 1900+/266 FSB PROCESSOR CPU - RETAIL
Mushkin 256MB PC 2100 DDR RAM - OEM
SONY 1.44MB 3.5 INCH INTERNAL FDD DRIVE - OEM
WD WESTERN DIGITAL "SPECIAL EDITION" 80GB 7200RPM EIDE HARD DRIVE # WD800JB - OEM, DRIVE ONLY (Has 8MB cache)
Teac 40X12X48 CDRW
Encore ENL832-TX +
Antec 400W ATX SmartPower
Antec SX1040 Performance Series Case
Just built it, and I am trying to install Windoze.
What happens is:
I boot from the windows 98 Cd-rom to the windows setup program. Some times I get random reboots, sometimes I dont. If I make it past this part, I get segmentation faults (ie SUWIN General Protection Fault in Setupx.dll). And cant go any further. This is really driving me nuts, this is the first system I have built and was very nervous at first, now I'm worried that I might have defective or damaged parts.
Anyway, the first thing that came to mind with this kind of thing happening was heat problems. I can get my CPU and Case temps, and they look perfectly fine (44C for processor, little more for the case I think). I cannot think of anything else that could be causing such erratic and unpredictable behavior (I get different seg faults all the time).
Please help- any and all help will be greatly and immensley appreciated. I'm desperate. I've spent over $1000 all together on this, and this wasn't what I was expecting. Any help would be really great.
Thanks in Advance,
David Aslanian
