Hi friends recently i purchased a system for my friend who dont know anything about computer. My friend`s configuration is-:

1. Processor-: AMD Athlon X2 7750 Black Edition
2. Motherboard-: Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H
3. Memory-: Kingston 2GB 800MHz
4. HDD-: WD 320GB

Now the problem is when we installed all the components first day then i found that the RAM is faulty and after that i use my Kingston 1GB 667MHz and the system gives the display now. After that i try to install XP on the system but i have only one CD of window XP which has some Scratches but i install it`s first round after skipping many system files during copying process, and when the next phase start then it gives some sort of memory error. Now i tell him that i will install the window on my PC in his HDD for him. he agrees and i successfully install the windows on my PC (i.e. Intel Pentium D 3.0GHz, Intel original mothrboard 946GZIS). After that i take his HDD to his home and attached it with his mothrboard, everything is fine but the major PROBLEM which i am facing now is that the window which i install at my PC and also which is working fine on my PC, is not working there. Everytime i boot system restarts, but when i try to boot in safe mode then it is running fine.

I am very much frustrated now. Everybody is saying that i made a wrong choice by choosing AMD over intel. But my friend is very supportive, he says that he is not listening to anyone. TILL DATE My friend`s system is not started (i.e. 5 days from the date of purchase).

PLEASE TELL ME WHERE AM I WRONG IN WHOLE THIS PROCESS AND ALSO SOLVE MY PROBLEM.
IF POSSIBLE PLAESE TELL ME HOW TO BOOT MY FRIEND`S WINDOW IN NORMAL MODE. EVERYTIME I TRY TO BOOT IN NORMAL MODE IT RESTARTS AND WHEN I TRY TO BOOT IN SAFE MODE THEN IT WORKS FINE.

PLEASE SOLVE MY PROBLEM.

It "may" happen that the s/w u installed in his HDD, on ur PC are some h/w bound. Due to change of H/W they are conflicting now.
And, in safe mode a lot of services ans s/w stays disable, so there is a chance safe mode won't be a problem.

I would advice you to install XP again in ur friends PC. Isn't it possible??

Is my choice of choosing AMD is good or bad?

I am asking this because everyone of my friend is saying that AMD in good. and they are telling me that i a make a wrong choice.

I am pretty sure this won't work majority of the time. I guess this is where u r going wrong

just get hold of another xp cd. No big deal.
If you can't buy one, then download one . It will only take 6 hours to download a nlited 300mb version of xp

btw, to check the h/w stability, try to use any live cd of linux and check if the system (with his ram) is able to boot or not. If it is, then you need to get a good copy of windows.

Also, did you try to use Windows 7 or vista?

also, don't listen to those ignorant n00bs who say that the problem is due to AMD. I am using the same mobo and CPU and I have installed XP and win7 and also overclocked my rig by 500MHz. Still it's stable.

yes the system is stable now but one of the audio drivers are not installed i tried so many times but always there is a failure in the installation. BUT the sound card is working, so i think no worry about the drivers.

Try installing the drivers by browsing to the directory having the setup file sometimes it might work..

Run a full windows update first before telling about driver missing issues. In 90% of casesthat fixes the problem.

Actually there is no problem if RAM is faulty u replace it. But u try to install windows on ur PC with ur friend hard disk so all the drivers that are install on ur friend hard disk is of ur computer so it will not work and it will only work in safe mode as safe mode works with minumum drivers support (LIKE compatible mode driverssupport)
