Error installing any Os

Darkninja462 · 9 May 2009 at 12:35

When installing any Os onto my Abit AN8 (s939) I get a crash out and restart in Xp and vista errors out and BSOD's, any ideas anyone ?
Its the latest Bios version aswell
and tried the disks on other machines and there fine.

Might be the motherboard as its new into the system only £16 so though it was a bargin

Spec:
AMD 64 4200+
2gb Kingston Ram 4x 512mb
Nvidia 8400GS
Maxtor 120gb HDD

Many Thanks
