Stop 0x00000050 during WinXP installation

[Guest]

Hello all,

I'm getting quite desperate. During installation of XP the installation BSOD's with STOP error 0x00000050 just after the first reboot.

This happens *every* time at the same place/time.

What I've done so far is

* Reformatted HDD (lowlevel + WinXP installation way of format (both)
* Tested with different versions of XP (Pro, Home(sp1)
* Replaced RAM twice (not faulty but all suggestions so far pointed me to RAM failures
* Replaced HDD (bought a brand new (despite the fact the other hdd was about 3months old)
* Replaced Motherboard (replaced a MSI 875 Neo with Asus P4C800-E Deluxe

All installation attempts has been made with a minimum of components (ie no sound/lancard etc)

My rig (as it's configured during install)
Asus P4C800-E Delux
512Mb Kingston Hyper
1 WD 36/10k HD
Powercolor Radeon 9800pro

I fresh out of options, any help/suggestions are highly appreciated

Regard

Jako

Thanks, I've read through that (and referenced documents) a couple of times in the past (been dealing with this issue for a while).

Unfortunately I've had little success. The only thing that can get me going (1 out of 15 tries) is to disabel HyperThreading - but that's not an option an the moment.

The only pieces of HW I'v so far not replaced is the CPU and the PSU. I guess the CPU would be the next step ..

Thanks anyway

Horrible as that sounds, Jakob, what's left but the processor? I
actually doubt it's the power supply. Good luck - these hardware
failures are just terrible to troubleshoot sometimes.

In sympathy,

Just the answer I was not looking for :

Anyway, I'll just try to get ahold of a new / fully functional processer then. Thanks to all who replied
