I have 6 total 3 year old win98 machines (TradeMark) that are still good
machines (P3 667, 128MB, 20gb hd). I want to upgrade put xp on it, so I
purchase a full version of XP, and removed the fat32 partition added a NTFS
partition and install XP so far all is good. However now and then I get a
BSOD (Blue screen of Death) at boot up that says Memory Dump. When I get it
I reboot and it seems to work then, it is not a big probelm but it gets
annoying. Also on some of the PC when I install xp I would get a error
installing certain files, but even the PC's I don't have any problems on the
install I still get the memory dump error. I wonder if anyone else had any
problems with that specific brand of PC (TradeMark) installing/upgrading to
XP? (Hardware maybe?)
 
Hi Andre,

Can you offer more details on your errors?

With the blue screens, you should have a STOP code that is generated in the
format of : Stop 0x00000xx (0x00000xxx, 0x00000xxx, 0x00000xxx,
0x00000xxx)

Did you get a driver CD for the motherboards? It may contain specific
drivers for the OS to use for that motherboard. Maybe check out the
vendors website (if they have one) to see if you have the latest BIOS
firmware for the motherboard.

" Also on some of the PC when I install xp I would get a error installing
certain files," - What errors? What files?

When you are able to log on to the desktop, check the Event logs as well.
SYSTEM may show some very helpful details also.
