My prior windows installation screwed itself up when I installed some new memory, it wasn't such a big deal since it was on a temp hd (4.3 gigs) that I was using until I could install windows on my new HD (160gb), when that happened I finally decided to buy a new copy of XP (My old XP disc broke). Well, I eagerly awaited it's arrival and when I went to install it....problems!!!!! The same kind of **** that 98 and ME gave when I tried installing them on it before. It's a new harddrive, new memory, a new 500W power supply, and a new copy of XP Home Edt, to make sure it's not the harddrive I swapped it with a spare I have, an older Samsung 6.7gb one, same thing, first off it has problems copying the files needed for setup, I restart and it then does it fine but during the install process I get a bsod, HOW I HATE THEM!!!! I just want to be able to use my computer!!!! I am at wits end with this and I need help, here's the bsod:

Any ideas?

Hi there and welcome to PCHF, sorry for the delay, in answering your post, i will notify our tech team to take a look at this for you

Anybody?

Nevermind, a google search revealed it to be a memory error, that's the last time I buy ram sticks off ebay
Oh well, luckily I hoard PC stuff so I'm currently writing this on my newly installed XP Home Edt off a measly (but acceptable) 384mb ram
Eventually I'll upgrade, this time from brand new ram from altex
Anyway, feel free to mark this Resolved

Ok, I would recommend contacting the seller of the ram and see if you can get a refund or such.
