I am at witts end and not sure where the issue is.
Just got done putting together a new PC:
Intel i7 2600 k
Asus P8Z68-V LX motherboard
Lancool PC-k57 mid tower gaming case
g.Skill DDR3-1333 (only 4GB as the other module (4GB) wouldn't boot!
XIGMATEK 600W NPR-PC602 power supply
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU cooler
crucial M4 64GB SSD
WD 400 GB Hard drive
CDRW DRIVE (Newegg sale)
Like I said, couldn't boot with two Ram modules so found the one worked.
Next issue was tried to install a copy of Windows 7 but realized I needed a prior OS installed first.
Went for the HD and found it had a copy of XP already installed so took it to another PC and formatted it. Then tried to install a fresh copy of XP only to get the Blue Screen.
Tried again with the SSD and got the blue screen - BOTH times after it loaded the files to start installing XP.
Right now I am simply trying to install XP on the SSD without the WD hard drive installed and still get the blue screen.
This time it says:
Technical Information
*** STOP: 0x0000007B (0xf78D2524, 0XC0000034, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
I have nothing installed on either of the drives. Zip. And I have tried two copies of XP - Pro and Home - and both get the same blue screens.
This is my first SSD but it also happened with the Western Digital drive too but I believe a different code on the Blue screen...
Suggestions??
