Here is what I am trying to accomplish:
Reinstall (or repair install) of XP SP2 on my desktop PC.
It goes through the setup process, and while it is installing devices, the
computer eventually undergoes a freeze/restart. No stop message is recorded
on the screen, and I hear a cracking through the speakers.
XP has been installed on this machine before, using a similarly slipstreamed
CD. I know this because the XP master CD's I have all detect the drive at
around 136GB.
Hardware I have installed: (I'm not sure I can get to less than this...)
ATI Radeon 6800.
Maxtor 300GB HDD. (Partitioned out, XP install partition is 40GB)
Maxell 16XDVD-R (or HP 9100 CD-RW, switching it doesn't help!)
Shuttle XPC S45N Motherboard/PC (Nvidia nForce 2 chipset)
Xerox LCD Display. (Forget the exact model number.)
I have a HP 640e DVD-RW that's disconnected from the main computer, as well
as my printer.
Now is there a way to pin down which driver is causing the computer to
freeze and reboot in Setup?
I'm most suspicious about the unified Nvidia nForce2 drivers/motherboard,
but I've booted the system in another OS, and that works fine.
When I get home I can post the setup logs from c:\windows\, if that will
help, but the last driver I see in them is the ATI 9800 Drivers, and the
video does flicker and then goes back away again.
Thanks for any help in advance.
