Help!!!!!

Just put together a AMD 3800+ Dual Core system.

Here are the specs revelant:

Boxed AMD 3800+ Dual Core CPU Using Stock Fan+Heatsink
2GIG Ram ( 2 x Super Talent, PC3200 1GB DDR400. CL2.5)
MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum. (Nforce4 chipset)
ATI 1800XL -256RAM PCI-E 16X.
450Watt Antec Power Supply.
Thermaltake Armor Case
WD 400GB SATA Drive.

Nothing is overclocked.

Problem is that after I finish installing windows, the next reboot, when is supposed to ask me to register, enter user names, ECT, the machine reboots.

I tried going in Safe mode, same thing.

I'm using a OEM just opened copy of Windows XP SP2 (legal :thumbs2: )

Please help, I just spend a whollata cash on this rig for my christmas present :p and can't get it to work.

AMD's are picky about RAM, especially MSI boards :)

Try removing 1 stick or swap them for a spare stick you might have from another machine. The RAM may not be bad, just incompatible. Just in case run a memory test as well, http://www.memtest.org/

I would suggest trying 1 stick of memory at a time.
If that doesnt work shut off and remove all un nessecary onboard devices like sound, network, usb, etc and then get it running.
Then add back the devices 1 at a time and see if the offending issue re occurs
