its just a standard retail MS disc
the disc is ok, i checked another XP disc and it says the same for that
-
here is the message it displays in setup when trying to install windows
and then it just restarts and says the same thing again and again
i have reset the CMOS, i dont know if that has helped or caused the problem
-
it now runs fine with 1GB of RAM but not with 2GB
this is XP home edition, not professional
it used to say 128 bit on boot up, now it says 64 bit
-
at first, i had both in the same slots with the same colour
and it kept crashing
now i will try one in one colour and one in the other coloured socket
-
seems like the RAM was the problem
took one out, and now its down to 1GB and its running fine
maybe i had the RAM in the wrong socket, as there are 4 sockets. 2 are one colour, and 2 are another colour....

i dont know where my 'session.ini' file is...
so it definitely has to be either heat or RAM, that sure does narrow it down fast
sometimes on boot up it says
'update DMI pool data success'
sometimes also mentions K8N or something at the beginning, sounds like a old motherboard i had (MSI K8N)
even when i havent changed anything....
would clearing the CMOS do anything beneficial?

yes it was a clean install of windows XP off my retail version disc of XP home 'version 2002'
then installed SP2 and the updates

Just finished building my new spec pc with the latest bits, and now windows XP keeps crashing.
Sometimes the screen just goes blank then after about 10 secs it restarts itself.
Sometimes the blue screen of death appears for a second then the computer reboots everytime.
Always takes about 5 attempts to get into windows after rebooting.....!
Its so unstable now
it says 'detected new hardware' for an unknown device, so i tried disabling it to no effect
AMD 4600+ dual core processor
Gigabit Mobo M57SLi-S4 Socket AM2
550w PSU
2GB DDR2 6400 RAM
Creative XI-FI soundcard
XFX 8800GTS PCI-E graphics card
SATA hard drive
IDE DVD-RW drive

oh ok, thank you
-
says at location 0
-
yes it says safely remove WDC WD2500KS...... (C:)
-
bought a new hard drive yesterday and installed it
its SATA as i wanted to move away from PATA (IDE)
now XP shows the remove hardware safely icon down by the clock, it seems to think the hard drive is connected by USB....
how can i resolve this?
-
i have OEM and have activated it once
yet to try a second time, will be interesting to see if doesnt work
might have to re-load it every 30 days then
-

Try this:
Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
Then right-click over both 'Flash9b.ocx' and 'FlashUtil9b.exe', and choose Properties.
In Properties choose the "Security" tab.
my comp does not even show a security tab (using XP SP2)

i experienced the exact same problem on youtube especially
it could be spyware or similiar but, i dont know why, but i dont think it is
only currently fixed because i re-installed my OS
Trying to re-install XP and it keeps failing on setup
in Microsoft Windows XP

well i got it pasted that error by putting the HDD on the same IDE cable as the DVD drive
and setting the jumpers accordingly
now it completes the first part of the setup, then when it restarts to go into the second part of the installation
it says boot from CD.... error loading operating system everytime now
god its so annoying!
