Hi,

i have a desktop computer that was given to me by a friend and i was trying to set it up for my sister. Now i had to put a hard drive into the computer and it is a very good computer and the hard drive is working.

Now i go to install XP and i doesn't want to. Meaning that XP will load up and when it reboots and gets intot the installtion process at around the 39 mins it will freeze???

I'm not sure what is causing this.... now is it the ram that is causing this????

Could i pls have some help pls...

thanks

Could be alot of things,scratched cd,ram or one time for me it was a dodgy CMOS battery(what a headache isolating that was.lol)

i won't be the disc because i havce used this xp disc heaps of times - Well it reboots once copying files for xp.. then it goes into the installition screen for xp and just freezes... nothing happesn the bottom blocks the flash doesn't flash it just does nothing and will not continue to do anything..... it is like a program has frozen and you have to open it again and it has done it every time i have tryed to load xp onto the system



nothing happens - it doesn't do or say anything the screen just stays there - would it be the video card freezing????? it doesn't have an on board video card it is a PCI card.
