XP won't install

[Guest]

I have a new computer that I built, and I had all of the parts tested to make
sure that they worked, I have tried to install Windows 98, Windows 98 SE,
Windows XP Home Edition, and Windows XP Pro. None of them will install, when
I do Windows XP Home it does the dos install, then when it boots up XP to
fiinish the install, it Blue Screens, it says:


A problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage
to your computer.

IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

If this is the first time you have seen this stop error screen,
restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow
these instructions.

check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed.
If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacuturer
for any windows updates you might need.

If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware
or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing.
If you need to use safe mode to remove or disable components, restart your
computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then
select safe mode.

sounds like a BIOS problem - perhaps IRQ-related
maybe just a bad motherboard??? Or bad IRQ chip(s)

I am having the exact same problem and was wondering if you tried the BIOS
upgrade sucessfully?? This is a PC that was given to me because the person
could not fix it so I am determined to fix it.

Thank you!!

Hey Eiellur,

This very much "appears" to be an issue at the motherboard level. You
should confirm that the latest bios version has been applied. If that
fails, then you should contact the motherboard vendor.
