Can NOT install XP Pro: several stop erros
Posted on 2006-11-24
I am trying to install XP Pro on a PC that was previously getting the BSOD.
It is an AMD Athlon XP 1700
512MB RAM
2 hard disk (master 20GB, slave 10GB)
So far this is what has happened:
I tried to re-install XP Pro. After the old hard disk partition is deleted and then the hard disk has been formatted NTFS, windows begins to install but it always crashes during the installation process.
OFTEN there is NO DISPLAY. I here and see power lights but there is nothing dispalyed on the monitor. I need to power off and on or let it sit for a minute or two and then try again, then for some reason I get a display.
First Stop error: Stop 0x00000024 (0x001902f8, 0xf8964eb4, 0xf8964bb4, 0x804fd470)
I tried again. Second stop error: 0x0000008e
I removed all parts except ram and video card.
Stop error 3: 0x0000000A IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
I tried Recovery Console: chkdsk /r: It found errors
I rebooted and tried to install again: BSOD during "installing devices"
I booted with a UBCD and ran:
Memtest (all night) = OK
Hard disk test for both hard drives (extended) = OK
I removed the video card and installed an old PCI video card.
Stop error 5: C000021A {Fatal System Error}
The windows subsystem process terminated unexpectedlywith a status of 0xC00000096 (0x004fe3f9, 0x004fe09c)
I tried another power supply an d I also loaded "Fail Safe Defaults" in the BIOS.
Stop error 6: C000021A {Fatal System Error}
The windows subsystem process terminated unexpectedlywith a status of 0xC0000005 (0x004fe0d7, 0x004fdd10)
So is the CPU or Motherboard the problem?
Any suggestions would be apprieciated. I need to get an answer by tomorrow.
Thanks,
