hmm yes the entire system is new.. except for the Hard Drive... umm I have a Gigabyte Mother Board, Nvidia 7600 gs DDr2 graphic card.. 2 512mb Corshair Ram cards, 60gb WD hard drive.... ... if ya need more specific info... I can tell ya when i get home from school... oh and my mother board is SATA compatible and only has 1 IDE Slot.. so I have my hard drive as an Secondary and my Cd-Rom as an Primary.. but things seems to work and read well like that..

There may be somthing on the hard drive causing the problem I thought you might have been using your old hard drive do you need the data on it? what OS was on the old hard drive and did the old pc have an nvidia grafix as well? the hard drive should really be set as the master via the jumpers on the back of it and the cd rom should be a slave but it will work the way you have it.

Actualluy the hard drive is old.. and i got everything working right... I found out that If i put in my second ram card... i will get the blue screen about the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL umm.. my mainboard is actually Dual Channel and when i put the second one in the right channel.. I will get that blue screen or my pc won't even start up ...

- Click Next and go through the burn procedure.

From the bad PC:
- Start the PC up with the CD insterted, and you should be able to boot from it, just like you do with the windows installation CD.

I was trying to burn the memtest but it kept saing the drive is in use by another application.. for some reason... and i have nothing else running.. could it be the fact that my cd-rom is set up as an primary and my hard drive as an secondary.?

I got the memtest burned... i did it on my dads... sorry about that other post... so what extactly am im looking for during this test?

BiggyFry

Ok i ran the memtest with one of my ram that works alone(by itself) no errors.... then i add the second ram stick in and I've gotten a bunch of errors..... does that means one of my ram sticks is faulty or somthing..?

madmonkey

You should have errors, a bunch of failing address's?

Yep, you have a bad stick there. Your best bet maybe to take that stick down to your local computer store, and ask for an identical replacment.
