Hello Peeps i recently brought loads of pc hardware and decided to build a PC for myself, i have built pcs 5/6 times before but this time iam having big trouble installing the most basic of things, windows xp.
Once everything (Hardware) was but in place and set up i set the bios as you do. I then put in the windows xp disc which i have used many of times of different machines, drives etc...its installed no problem. But on this newly build pc everytime it is installing windows xp i get the fatel blue error screen. They very at any stage of the installation today it had 13 minutes left before it was installed, then the blue screen come up, once it just froze. Sometimes its just after it format the harddrive at the beginning stage of the installation. I cannot work it out i have change bios settings, reset the whole bios used different disc drives, even my mates windows xp copy. Still this blue screen error's. Even tested the memory in memtest86. I am seriously getting hacked off now, i hope someone can help would be much appreciated.
