core 2 duo e4300
gigabyte ds3 mobo (rev 1.33)
2gb ddr2800 ballistix ram
evga geforce 7600gt video card
serial ata 160gb maxtor hd
samsung pata dual layer burner
corsair hx520 520w psu

That's my rig...here are the error codes on the blue screen of death:

0x0000007B (0x0F78DA524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I GET THIS ERROR WHILE INSTALLING WINDOWS XP WHEN IT SAYS "SETUP IS STARTING WINDOWS"

These parts are brand new right out of the box...someone was telling me something about changing the memory voltage in the bios...but i didn't think i'd have to do that right out of the box...and i don't want to damage any parts.

Thanks for any advice you can offer...

Hey guys, not really sure how to mess around with those voltages/ratios etc...i'm going to tell you my bios settings, and hopefully you can tell me which ones represent the options you're telling me:

System Memory Multiplier (manual or auto)
High Speed DRAM DLL Settings (option 1 or option 2)
DRAM Timing Selectable (auto or manual)
CAS Latency Time (3,4,5,6...)
DRAM RAS# to CAS# Delay (5) auto
DRAM RAS# Precharge (5) auto
Precharge delay (tRAS) 18 auto
ACT to ACT Delay (tBRD) 3 auto
Rank Write To READ Delay 3 auto
Write to Precharge Delay 6 auto
Refresh to ACT Delay 42 0
Read to Precharge Delay 3 auto
System Voltage Control
DDR2 OverVoltage Control (Normal +.1v +.2v +.3v +.4v +.5v +.6v +.7v)

I think that's it...which options should i mess with for the timings?

-Rick

btw...my memory is rated @ 4-4-4-12 timings

Set the sata drives in ide mode in bios --

SATA AHCI Mode: Disabled
SATA Port 0-3: Enabled
RAID: IDE mode

Are you using a customized winxp install disc?
