I'm having a problem installing Windws XP Pro

R

Rafique Cyrus

Whenever I try to do a clean installation of Win XP Pro,
during the setup, I keep on getting the blue screen of
death with this message:
stop: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0x00000000, 0xF504BCF0,
0x0000000)
Beginning dump of physical memory.

How do I get rid of this error message.

Hi Rafique,

Most likely problem is bad or failing ram. If you want to check the memory,
there are free programs here:

http://oca.microsoft.com/en/windiag.asp

But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test equipment
at a computer shop. Software tests are not perfect in diagnosing these
issues. At the price of memory today, you may find that the test costs more
than a replacement stick.
