Installing Windows

[Guest]

I have tryed installing win 2000 and win xp on my new computer but both are giving me tons of errors. Every time i try to get it to run it gives me an error PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA or DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL theres a whole list they are always randome. Win 2000 i got past the formating the hard drive but once i tryed installing it, it just locks up or gives me one of those blue screens. Any idea on how to fix this? Oh and i have installed win 2000 and other operating systems befor with no problem just this computer seems to not like me what do i have to change in the computer to get it to work.

Danny,

You indicate the STOP errors are somewhat random.

Download memtest86 from www.memtest86.com, follow the instruction on
creating a boot floppy and run memtest86 with extended tests for a minimum
of 5 full runs. You should get no errors.

If you get errors then there is an issue with either memory or its
configuration. If you have just purchased this system new, I would return
it, otherewise if it is second hand or you have built it your self, then you
will need to fix this - it is not necessarily the memory, it may just be its
configuration. In the Bios, make sure it is set to SPD.

Check the CPU bus speed setting. Initially, the jumper JP2
was set to 'Auto' from the manufacturer (L4VXA2 P4
motherboard; Celeron 2.66 GHz CPU, 400 MHz FSB) Changed
nged it to '533' (I'm running one stick of 512 MB DDR RAM.
When I first started XP and W2K installs, I first had to
disable L1/L2 cache which of course is really slow, and
after reboot re-enabled it - still crashed. Resetting the
mobo's bus speed corrected the problem.
