I am in the process of a new build and today my ram showed up from newegg so i am thinking great I can finally finish my computer. My rig consists of the following Athlon XP 3000 w/ Thermaltake 10 HSF, FIC AU13 Motherboard (Nforce2), 512 mb OCZ 3200 EL Dual Pack, Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro, A DVD drive from an old computer and an ancient 6.4gb computer from my first computer ever back in like 1996. I am still using the crap power supply that came with my case because I am waiting for my new PSU to come from newegg. I know the hard drive is small but its all I have and I am not getting a paycheck for a week or so.
Well anyway my computer posted and I was thinking alright everything works I pop in my Windows XP disc and everything loads, Great!. Then after my computer restarts it goes to the screen with the little white bars and the bar fills up all the way, it sits there for a minute and then I get a BSOD that reads Stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0x8059B278, 0xF9E493B4, 0xF9E490B4). So I take out ram a stick of ram and try installing again, same deal. So I try installing Win2K and I get some ntoskrnl.exe is corrupted. I try to repair it but it doesn't work and reinstalling that, same deal. So I go back to XP and try that again, same deal. So I relax the timings on the ram to like 3-3-3-7 and I still get the BSOD. I try installing it one more time and low and behold I get to the XP Pro screen with the little green bars that move in that little box but after a few seconds of that I get another BSOD that reads stop:0x00000024 (0x001902F8, 0xF9E691D4, 0xF9E68ED4, 0x3983A3FC). I try running chkdsk /F like the BSOD says but when I try to run it in the recovery console it says there is no chkdsk /F only /p and /r. So I run both /p and /r and still no avail. I try putting the timings back to 2-3-2-6 and I still get to the same spot so I think the ram is ok. I try another install and this time I don't even get to the white bars, it just posts then goes to a black screen and freezes. At this point I think it must be a faulty hard drive (the thing is 8 years old).
Any Suggestions and/or help would be most appreciated!
Thank you in advance!
Mike
