I can't install win2k pro / win xp pro / win xp pro w/ sp1 Everytime I try It boots off the cd just fine... the gets to the point after it finishes loading its drivers into ram it says "Setup Starting Windows Setup" and after 5 seconds the kyb led lights flash, the hdd flashes, the cdrom flashes... and then nothing... I tried playing around w/ various bios settings and found out the following things, it will ALWAYS reproduce this "situation" however, a couple of times... the hang is follow by a reboot... I also had the screen turn red and a couple of times blue... I tried using a different video card no luck... I currently am using 2 x PC3500 256 OCZ Ram and I have tried installing w/ both ram in, with the ram seperate... and I even went out and bought a 256 stick or pc2700 and ran that by its self and still no go... I also can't flash my bios... Im stuck at 12/30/02... even w/ the bios file on the floppy it fails to find it... This really stinks I have been working on this for about 6 hours now I was able to install win98 but after install nforce drivers and and gf2fts drivers... I was crapped out... I now have my ocz ram back in there and am starting at a frozen screen. I have tried **** near everything at his point... disabling acpi... whatever...

I had a simular problem with win XP pro. I thought it was the VC untill I tried another and it didn't help, then i tried different ram, different Harddrive, but nothing would even let me install it. Tried another copy of XP pro, and nothing. Then i tried Win 98 se and it worked fine. Finally I just sent the board back and got another one with the updated bios (no charge) and everything worked just right with Win XP Pro
 Mine was an Abit, but maybe you are dealing with something simular. Just a thought. |
