Hi Folks,
Arrived from OcUK yesterday:
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - Retail (CP-128-IN)
BFG 3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GT 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-025-BG)
Seagate Barracuda 7200.9 160GB ST3160811AS SATA-II 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-093-SE)
Asrock Conroe945G-DVI (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (MB-004-AK)
OCZ 1GB (2 x 512MB) PC2-6400 Dual Channel Special Ops XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2SOE8001GK) (MY-070-OC)
Antec NSK1300 ATX Cube Case - 300W PSU (CA-059-AN)
Put it all together last night (my first SFF build, bit of a bitch to cram it all in!), am using a known good Panasonic DVD/CD Writer. RAM is set up in dual channel mode (I may change this to just 1 stick later if you think it's worth it?)
Set the BIOS to defaults, popped the Windows XP disc in the drive (to confirm it's not the CD I reinstalled the OS on my outgoing PC, all went fine), and each time I get into the XP install session it goes as far as "loading Kernel.DLL" then it fails with:
Unable to load Setupreg.dll.......error message 4096, press any key to reboot.
Initial thought was memory, so have tried setting the memory to its slowest settings, tried setting it to the settings listed on the OcUK site, no change, drops to this message each and every time.
Am currently running Memtest86 from the Ubuntu CD, which is still running, but hasn't thrown anything up as yet.
Things I'll be trying when I get back from work this evening:
* Change the IDE cable (though I doubt it's this, seems unlikely a cable could cause a fail at the same point every time.
* Reduce RAM from dual channel to single channel using just 1 stick
* More BIOS fiddling
I may install Ubuntu before Windows and build a kernel to prove it's nothing to do with hardware stability...
Any help / suggesions you can provide, i'd be eternally greatful!
Thanks,
Gav.
