Hi,
I have recently built a new pc please see spec below. I am trying to install xp professional, the cd boots ok & gets me to the partion stage I create a partion NTFS of 20GB for OS. It then begins to copy files on to hardrive it then gets to around 60% (it varies) & says the following dll could not be copied I try pressing enter to retry or escape to skip it then comes up with a different dll file not copied if I continue doing this it eventually comes up with the blue screen of death IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL ! I have tried using 3 different cd drives as I read on another forum that it could not like my new cd drive - but they all have the same problem so I don't think it is this. I have tried re-seating all cables/connectors & reseating RAM. Can somebody please help me, I have installed windows once on my old pc & it was fairly straight forward. Its driving me crazy had a nice new pc for three weeks now & I cant use it !!!!
Many Thanks
Frankthetank

Frank, I had same problem a year ago. I have been told it is the memory. I removed one memory stick and installation went fine. Afterwards I puted the memory stick back and all worked fine. This is, so I have been tolt, that windows installer uses all the memory available and wont skip a bad spot. After installation it works ok. Had no problems ever since. You might give it a try.

Reaper is high voltage RAM...2.2v-2.35v. If you're running default BIOS settings, it's possible your RAM is undervolted. And since your Quad runs at 1333MHz FSB, you should downclock the RAM to 667MHz to match.
Regardless, you should ALWAYS test RAM with memtest86 before using it.

Hi I tried memtest it gets to about 45% an says unexpected interrupt cpu halted ? Does this mean my memory is faulty ? How do i down clock speed ?
Thanks
