Sorry, but I need some help:confused:

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I just built comp with the following specs for a bud:
soltek sl-400-64 mobo
512 corsair value select
80gig wd800jb hdd
ati9200 64 meg vid card
350 watt psu and aluminum case
ligitech keyboard and mouse
cd-rom standard

Now, when I install winxp home (or windows server 2003), it will only get so far. Sometimes I can get to the licence agreement only to have it stop responding to any keys. Sometimes it will freeze at the "please wait" screen right before it.

I have disabled overheat protection and such, but it seems to make no difference.

Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help

Of course the XP home and Win2003 Server are both LEGIT...

Can you fire up a KNOPPIX cd and get it to the desktop? I.E. try another OS (linux, win98, whatever).

Got to determine if it's a funky CD or some hardware issue.
