i jes assemble a pc yesterday... untill now i still haven't get it done.

the problem started when i installing winXP sp1, it seems like the cd rom wont work or cd spoiled... coz it require me to retry copying a file(s) or sometime BLUE SCREEN pop out with erroe msg -> pnp_list_corrupt or IrQL error... etc etc

after several retries, i manage to get through 'dos-like' setup of XP but there goes problem again...
it auto restart or 'hanged' when i installing XP especially the 1st part of 'installing devices...'

OK, after several retries/restart, i go through and finally installed XP. Problems raised again by keep on restarting or 'hanged' there.

i felt that might be some files had missing when i install XP, so i decided to reinstall XP, but the problem become worst... i can't even get to install XP after the 'dos-like' setup.

Anyone got a solution for it???

note that i dont hav a single expansion card installed. All are integrated in mobo.

ic. u try take out any pci slot card like modem, network card before u install the OS, maybe ur hardware problem. cas u said it hang during the " installing devices" right.

Make sense too.. If that still cant works, its vry high posible that either ur cd-rom got prob already o ur installation cd. Last time i personally encounter this prob. So i reburn another xp-cd... Then it works on already with no prob....

i dont have any expansion card installed.



the cd rom works fine in my another pc...

havent tested out with the XP cd

which is the possible hardware that got the problem? coz i bought the hardware separately, dunno which 1 to take back to check with the shop.

possible your IDE cable or RAM...make sure RAM is attached to slot properly.

the blue screen tells you exactly there's problem with hardware and not your windows corrupt or so.

i encountered a prob like this jz now...

i found it it restarted at the 'installing drivers' screen...

then plugged out all of my USB accesories and found out a infrared sensor was causing the prob..

my point is that it might be a usb device causing the prob...

probabbly cause by windows corrupted or other things like Nightstalker1993 said.. if it bcoz of widnows corrupted,i think it bcoz of ur windows are not isntalled properly.. try to refromat back ur pc by using other CDROm drive (as u said earlier ur CDROm are trying hard to read the CD when u wanna install the XP) .. or it maybe ur CDROm are didnt have enough power feeding on it.. try to use a single mainly power cable directly feed to the CDROm when u try to installed it.. hope it works..

Mind letting us know d complete specs of yr nu rig?

maybe the ram got prob.....
try switch another ram if u got one.....
or try to rub the ram pin with an eraser.....or try diffrent slot.....
and also change the windows CD....

now my pc set up is very simple and basic.
No usb device attach, fans are connected, front panel usb cable connected, the cd-rom is attach to 1 direct IDE cable(tried both slot), using sata2 HDD, no FDD(i tried disabled n enable it in bios).

next, i might wanna try to buy a new XP cd.

i will try to change the RAM slot tonite.

AMD AM2
Biostar Tforce 6100 Mobo
1 x corsair value ram 667mhz
480w no-brand psu


i tried on 4 slots, still the same.


Average CPU temperature is 40 degree celcius.

WinXP installed after i changed the IDE cable..

it still restart but not that frequent.


it restart when i downloading with bitcomet and watch video.

i let it idle(not standby mode, no screen saver) for 8hrs++, it dint restart.
