I bought a new HP z400 workstation and when I  install win 2003 R2 64 bit it is giving me blue screen. I am getting this error while copying the files from CD during the installation.

Run a memory test or a hard drive test to verify the hardware is functioning correctly, i have seen new system have defective ram which would cause this issue during installation.  Also check on hp website and make sure the model has server 2003 drivers to make sure the hardware is compatible.

How can I run the memory and hdd test for this model.
Depending on the hard drive I would download WD (western digital diagnostics) which runs in windows and scans attatched hard drives.

For memory test, download memtest 4.0 ico and burn it to a disc, then boot to the disk to run the memory test.
