Windows Blue Screens on setup

detrias · 01-26-2008, 07:58 PM

I got the following issue and perhaps someone on this forums can be of assistance, any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Im currently trying to finish setting up this new computer im building but i keep running into the following error. Once assembled the BIOS comes up, tells me everything is fine. Recognizes all of my peripherals and everything and i proceed to my windows xp installation.

The setup loads and goes to the part when im asked to press F8 to accept the microsoft agreement. At this point it just either restarts, freezes or blue screen. Ive tried 2 boards (same model) 2 cpus (same brand/model) 4 different video cards and like 8 different HDDs. Ive tried with countless versions of windows and it just does the same. The boards is a eVGA nForce4 SLI edition 775 socket. Basicly ive tried different components but different memory sims. I currently do not possess a manual for the board but the memory im trying atm are 2GB PC2-5300.

I have tried with them both on, one at a time, everything. Could it be perhaps a frequency issue my problem? Or what else could it be?

Please don't start multiple threads on the same topic, closing this one your thread in motherboard&bios is still open
