This was not a new build. I've had this computer for quite some time. I was doing a fresh install of windows (formatting). I started by installing windows, than SP2, directx, chipset drivers, video drivers, and sound dirvers. My final step was to connect the the net and do windows updates. As I was downloading the updates the BSOD poped up. It automatically restarted and now it cannot get past the wondows loading screen. It just keeps rebooting after the windows screen.
I have 1 Gb of Mushkin PC3500 (2 sticks of 512). I tried removing one stick at a time to see if it was bad RAM, but that didn't help.
I also reset the BIOS to optimal defaults.
I have never had this error before. How can I determine exactly what it is?
System Stats:
Abit AN7, Athlon 2500+, 1GB Mushkin PC3500, ATI Radeon 9800, Audigy 2 ZS
What other info do you need? Thank you for your help so far.
