Hi,
I recently built up a PC for the first time and am having problems
getting Windows XP Pro to install on the machine.
My configuration is as follows:
Motherboard:ABIT IC7-G ;upgraded Bios to version 17 (9/11/03)
Chipset:Intel 875P
Processor:Intel Pentium 4 – 2.8 GHz, 800 FSB, 512 Cache
RAM: DDR PC3200, 400MHz, 184 Pin Dimm, 512MB, Non-ECC, 64meg x 64,
Case: ANTEC SX835II -Workstation Tower –lots of expansion slots
Power Supply: ANTEC SL350 – 350 Watt max power
CD-RW / DVD: BTC 48X-24X-48X / 16X
Hard Drive: Maxtor 120GB SATA/150 or Western Digital 80GB EIDE ATA/100
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce4 MX-440-8X , 128MB DDR ram, AGP 2x/4x/8x
Description of Problem:
When installing Win XP Pro for the very first time, (using the SATA
drive) XP installed almost completely but during the file copy stage
there was trouble copying files to hard-drive, must retry 3-5 files
but it does copy them and continues until it gave me a blue screen
stop error "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area".
I tried installing it many different times and I never got as far as
the first time in the installation before the stop errors would pop
up. Every install would give a different error message: such as
"PFN_LIST_CORRUPT", "BAD_POOL_CALLER" and the latest error message
when swapping out the SATA drive with a standard ATA/100 Drive "MEMORY
MANAGEMENT" Stop error number 0x00000010 (0x00041284, 0x2B2004A5,
0xc0503000).
I have removed all unnecessary connections,(USB & IEEE1394), swapped
out different 512 RAM chips (but all same type) played with various
BIOS Settings and upgraded the "Award" BIOS to the latest version 17
for the ABIT motherboard.
Also of note, installed the SATA drivers when using the SATA drive but
it didn't change the outcome.
Are there any specific Bios settings that I should be using? Is this a
bad motherboard?, Bad Windows XP Pro CD?, Are there any checks that I
can do?
I am all ears....
