Hello,
Having solved various hardware probs, I now have my new MB, HD and CPU working (AMD Duron 1.3Ghz).
For some reason I am nowing having probs installing Windows. I have tried 98, 98SE, ME and XP Pro and have the same or similar problem.
The files seem to install but when it comes to configuring (after the "restart" point), I have problems; usually about the time of entering user details, serial number and then it does the hardware search.
It usually results in the blue screen of death - sometimes with one error soon followed by another and the machine appearing to be going a bit 'gaga'. On other occassions I get something saying windows has locked up / protecting or something and I have to power off. Interestingly enough, I had similar probs with my last machine but it usually just froze with a blank screen.
I have tried several times including formatting etc but still no luck. The hardware is all brand new so surprises me this is happening.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Neil
