I just recently have built a new computer, I have a 2.0 ghz athalon processor with a 40 gig hard drive and 256 megs of ram. I have been trying to install windows xp on this system. At first it was having a hard time recognizing the hard drive, and then it started too. Now the cd will start up like it's going to install windows XP and then it will load files. It then gets to a point where it says press enter to continue I press enter and it goes to the user end agreement and I press F8 to agree and continue, then the computer just freezes, the monitor turns black although the green light remains on and I have to reboot and do it all over again. What do I DO?

Go into your bios and set it to the fail safe settings or default settings. Then go change your boot order to boot to the cdrom. Save and restart and see if that helps.... If not check all your cables, ram, etc and make sure are seeded properly.

I tried all of that already, I still can't figure out what's going on
