XP fighting me, new install - Success

<< < (3/4) > >>

squirrellydw:
thanks, but  I took the easy way out and returned the RAM and MOBO and sold the CPU.  I did not have a speaker attached, don't have one.  I did try both sticks of memory.  The MOBO does not have onboard video.

squirrellydw:
I have all my new crap now, going to try again tomorrow and hook up my cab speakers to the mobo.  I have built over 100 PCs, this was suppose to be the easy part.  wish we luck

Installing it on a SATA 320 gig HD
and using the AVGA PCI-e video card

Fresh install

It's a long shot.. :dunno    But try swapping your mouse and keyboard around (each other port) and start again  (I had a similar issue 2 years back)

youki:

Try to install it with another Video card. Remove your AVGA , put another VGA card.

Once, your XP runs . 

Put you desktop in 640x480  standard VGA.

Change the video card

Plug your PC on your cab

Start in Safe mode  640x480

Install arcade VGA drivers.

Then reboot.

squirrellydw:
woohoo, it worked.  Must have been the RAM or MOBO.  Now to install the drivers for the AVGA and install XP updates

edit........71 updates for XP :o
