Dear Friends,

I need your help, please help me. My problem is as under :
I have a PCS system with the following configuration:

1. Intel P-4 2.40 GHz CPU
2. RAM = 256MB + 128 MB
3. Intel 845G Chipset Motherboard
4. 40 GB Hard Disk
5. OS = MS Windows XP Pro (Version 5.1.2600 Build 2600)

My problem is whenever I try to ungrade/new installation of Windows XP Pro SP-II, the installation/upgradation fail after copying all installation files to the system. when I restart the system Windows XP setup starts again, Win XP LOGO appears in the screen as usual, but the system hangs up without any msg. I replaced the RAM with only 256 MB or 128 MB one in one stage, but all the experiment failed. Presently my system is running with Xp Pro which is running without any problem. But the programme which are XP SP-II compiatable cannot be loaded.

I shall be glad and gratefull if anybody of the forum help me to solve my problem.

SK Ghosh.

The following link from Microsoft will help you.

Do revert back if any issues thereafter.

clean up your whole system get new XP cd and then try..
most of these type of problems are associated with Ram but u

Let me tell you in brief the History of My Error
My PC Config is
Intel PIII 800 Mhz, any 815chipset board, 2 x 128MB SD RAM, 40GB HDD, CD-RW, 15" Samsung etc.
I was running XP_SP2 from last 1 year
but suddenly their was some error came & my PC started restarting in every 10min
So i Formatted it & tried to reinstall
But at the Process of Reinstall when their was around 9-10 min remaining the PC hangs or Freezes or stop responding (whatever you say)
No i deleted all the data repartitioned & again tried to do so
Same thing happen

Now I bought 1 6GB hdd from my friend which has win98 pre installed that was running fine
So I tried to install Win98 on my 40GB HDD, it installed sucessfully again my PC hangs & restarts automatically in less than 10-20 min of working
:(

Now what can i do
I thought the Prob is in HDD
so i Installed WinXP on that 6GB HDD
but strange
at the time of installation again it freezes when their is 9 min remaining

I tried to remove 1 ram & run on only 128 but that too gives the same error

Now can someone identify whts the error..................?

I have another system in my home Zenith PC with a config celeron 850 mzh processor, 128 mb RAM sis 630 mb with 20 gb HDD, where I have duel booting system with win98 and xp sp-2, where both the system runs fine except slow performance. Originally the system was preloaded with WIn 98 SE. After formating the HDD I was tried for new installation of WIn XP sp-2
with OEM CD but it was failed. After that I have installed win XP-pro and which is running fine. I think there is any BIOS problem in my system, which is
not suported WIN XP SP-2. (Phonix award BIOS ver 6.00PG dt 14/04/2004). I shall be glad if any body help me how to upgrade the BIOS.

Rebooting
Bumping up the old thread on request on author,

I would suggest one thing, try Integrating the Windows XP SP2 in the Installation disk, then install a Fresh Copy of Windows !!!!

To do so, u may follow this guide, or this one or this one, just google as there are many available :)...

or u may use a software called n-lite, *www.nliteos.com/
