I'm having a problem figuring this out. Recently I just restored my comp and when restore was going through it gave me a Memory dump error and now when i try to boot i get a BSOD.

I've tried 3 different windows xp copies and i still cannot boot to windows at all. So i'm getting pretty confused on why it's happening.

I did some research, people say drivers are a big deal, but shouldn't a clean swipe of windows be good to go for that?

And second. I ran MemTest and my RAM checked out just fine.

I'm confused and angry at this, any help would be appreciated!

Are you doing a clean install of windows or are you using some sort of image or recovery disk?

I think we need a little more background information here.

Yes, make sure you are using a known good copy of the disc. Test the optical drive in another machine if possible, remove any OC's try with another hard drive, check voltages

Tried 3 different .iso'd copies of windows (all are digital copies of legit copies due to a disk loss) and no luck.

Tried on another HDD, no luck.

Tried 1 stick of ram versus two, no luck.

I'm getting super confused.

It really shouldn't have anything to do with my windows discs, unless i'm missing something about them?

I'm left to believe that it's ram compatibility?

Here's the oddest thing. SOMETIMES the install works and I can get to the desktop. However, for some reason, when i try to install certain programs i get the BSOD and crash.

Example, when i load my copy of CS3, as the autoload for the CD is happening i get it and its done for. (This is a legit copy from adobe, non iso'd, nonpirated, nothing)

What would this mean?

And I can boot to safe mode every time without fail.

Good Morning Aiune

On your BSOD you have a statement at the top which is in caps with the words separated by an underline. Post this statement.

Down a little further, it say something about a STOP error and gives a series of alpha/numeric statements in the format 0x0000000. Post this information.

Down towards the bottom, it often gives a statement saying that such and such encountered an error in such and such. Post this statement.

From there, we will have enough information to start a diagnosis.
