Hi
I'm new to this forum so i hope im posting this in the right place. If not i apologise.
I have been wanting to re-intall Windows XP on my PC but have been having difficulty as when i boot my Pc with the windows disk in the D drive it boots from the CD (as i want it to) says inspecting hardware configuration, changes to a blue screen with Windows setup and just hangs there.
So i was thinking i have maybe got RAM issues so i ran memtest 86 did the extended test and let it do a few passes with no errors generated.
I then thought i'll run Prime95 to see if it would pick any issues with my CPU etc up. Before doing this i wanted to moniter my CPU temps while doing this so i downloaded Motherboard monitor 5 and at idle my CPU temp was 64 degrees C! I rebooted and checked the temps in my bios which said CPU was 46... - I downloded AIDA32 and this also says that mu CPU is running at 64 and my AUX is 43. which should i go by? as im worried my CPU is cooking.
I have not experienced and crashes other than when trying to re-install XP.
Any ideas? and sorry for the long post, just trying to give as muchdetail as possible.
Specs:
AMD XP3000+ FSB333
1gig Corsair DDR400 (2 x 512mb)
PC chips M848A mobo
60gig Seagate HDD
ATI Radeon 8500 64MB AGP graphics
Soundblaster Audigy 2 Platinum
thanks in advance, Matt.
