Hey all,
I'm having some major problems with a new computer I just put together. Xp pro (slipstreamed with sp2) will not finish installing.
I have a seagate barracuda 250gb 7200.10 sata 2 16mb cache in it, and am installing Windows XP PRO SP2 (cd i made) on it.
It has paused at the Finalizing installation (4min remain) part multiple times, it will pause until I physically hold the power button (atm its been paused for about half an hour if not more)
There is nothing wrong with the cd as I used it to install xp pro sp2 on a different system the day before with no troubles (using that machine right now).. However this machine gets some.
Upon force restart if I take the disc out it will try to load the os but only a permanent blank screen will appear. I did see a BSOD in there somewhere aswell (one of the times of installing)
I have barts minipe ex2 and booted that live cd and could see no problems. The only thing I can come up with is the ram or perhaps something wrong on the mobo but I doubt it.
The mobo is a P5V-VM-DH and ram is just 1024mb stick of Generic ddr2 553mhz.
Hope someone can help.
