Something is causing Windows XP Pro SP1 to malfunction
when I'm trying to install it. I can get every other
update just fine, but SP1 stops and returns an error
called "machine_check_exception" . I even formatted the
hard drive and did a clean instal of Win XP Pro, then
loaded the nVidia and Gigabyte drivers. Once that was
loaded, I loaded the ATI Radeon 9200 drivers. I disabled
the Gigabyte & SiS raid controllers from BIOS. Went to
Windows Update and downloaded 52 security patches.
Everything was as smooth as glass. When I tried to DL
SP1, the system craps out. Any suggestions? The Windows
newsgroups, Tom's Hardware, SharkyExtreme and AnandTech
web sites haven't a clue what's going on.
The two harddrives, the DVD+RW, and Radeon 9200 were all
transferred from my Dell XPS-T700r (with PowerLeap 1.4
GHz CPU) and had all worked flawlessly.
Interestingly enough, when I try to load Norton
AntiVirus, it also return the machine_check_exception
error, but the rest of Norton SystemWOrks Pro 2004
installs without a squawk.

desparate. After three days of this hooey...)
