The instruction at "0x7c925e88" referenced memory at "0x4000000c". The memory could not be "read" : This happens while installing XP at about 20min remaining when clicking OK it completes the installation but then I can?t load drivers or software, then I get the pop up window that says " a error occurred and the application was closed " .... I was informed that it sounds like my memory that is faulty PLEASE ADVICE ANY1

Try Memtest86 to test your memory. It will take a while, so make sure you have enough snacks

If the memory is having errors, please post your hardware details. If you want to be thorough, you can hit Quote and edit this example with your own info... but I won't blame you if you don't. At least give brand & model of all the major parts.

My Magic 8-Ball says "maybe" :Q Sometimes posting your list of hardware also gives people ideas on what else to suggest. For example, if your 500W PSU is a low-quality brand, and you have six or seven drives plus a 6800GS on it, then people might suggest trying a high-quality PSU as a fact-finding step.

You should run the updated version which is memtest86+
found.. http://www.memtest.org/

Got to load this to a CD or Floppy and run for a few hours, exactly how long is debatable. I think that 6 passes (several hours ? ) is enough for a first diagnostic effort.

Open the computer case and look at the label on the PSU, it will say the brand & model.

I used to do so much hardware troubleshooting that I made that sample template for people to edit. I saw most of the necessary information in your other thread where you listed your hardware, so if you can find the brand and model of your RAM (so I can look up the preferred voltage for it), that would be good.

(specs from other thread:
Intel E6400
Asus P5B Deluxe
1GIG DDR 800
80GIG SEAGATE SATA - OS
2x 320 SEAGATE SATA - STORAGE
160 & 250 SEAGATE IDE - STORAGE
500 PSU
GAINWARD PCI-x 6800GS GLH BLISS DDR3 512MB 256Bit )
