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.

[quote]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.

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.
