I bought the new system today[not second hand],is an assembled one.

My friend tried everyhting except 6 & 4. How to do 6 ? Also someone help me with this problem.

Ah the evergreen BSOD issue.Check your RAM or the HDD.Either one of them must be the culprit here.Try using single RAM stick & check with each one.

wat mobo do u hav and is ur procy a E4400.also wat psu r u using?

I had the same problem at first.

I set the hard disc as the master using the jumper and tried installing XP from another CD.And it worked!

Check the RAM modules. Try plugging in different DIMM slots and set BIOS to optimized. And as its assembled, make sure everything is inserted and installed properly on mainboard. Basic thing, but it helps often!

Please tell me how to

- Set hard disc as master using jumper ?

- Instal XP from another CD, I already have the XP CD

those jumpers were with pata hdds afaik.
its not a psu issue-must be a ram\video card problem.
