Trouble installing XP Pro

[TheCardMan]

Installing XP Pro:

All new equipment:
P4 2.6/800FSB
512mb Kingston HyperX Dual Channel DDR400
Asus AGP ATI 9600se Video
3com PCI Modem
Intel D865PERLL mb
WD 7200, 80gig 8mb Buffer

Start install of XP Pro and get blue screen as it goes through initial process and saya "A problem has been detected....". The STOP message says:

0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0x, 0xF89D6BD8, 0xF89D68D8)

pci.sys - Address F853A30D base at F8537000, DateStamp3b7d855c

I have the video card in and Modem. Drive is fresh and unpartitioned.

Should I take the modem out? Will there still be a concern?

[TheCardMan]

Think I found my problem, removed the PCI Modem card and the setup seems to be going fine now. But, why would it do that? You think the PCI modem is bad?

1. The symptoms of a Stop error vary according to the computer's system failure settings.
2. The four parameters that are in the error signature information (BCPx), and inside the parentheses of the technical information for the Stop error, can vary according to the computer's configuration

Although the link I posted is about the upgrade, you will notice that it could be a myriad of issues.
All depending on hardware!!!
Yes, remove the modem and do a minimal install.
Also, try other ram.
Make sure Bios is configured properly, even trying defaul/safe settings.
We are definitely looking at a hardware issue, so we need to take it one step at a time.

Good!!!
Not necessarily, but who knows.
After install is complete, add the modem, then see if there are any problems with it.

So far so good. It is formating now.....I will try the modem once i finish the install and load all the necessary m/b drivers. I will run and test to see if it stays stable. I am keeping all the Bios setting as automatically configured. I went through them and everything seemed to be set ok for me.

Thanks TripleR

You're welcome,but you "fixed" it during my reply.
Where you at in NY?
NYC?
Do you know where Bloomfield NJ is?
Right next to Newark.
That's where I am from.
And, I hated NYC.
Nice to visit, or look at in my case: nice skyline, but here I am on a special island now.
I do miss the view, but that is all.

I spoke too soon. Another stop error!!! First it was doing the NTFS partition and then it was formatting. After formatting it said it could not complete the format press F3 to quit. I noticed that it partitioned all but 8mb of the 80gig drive and then it could not format. I resarted and now get Blue Screen again with Stop Error:

0x0000007E (0xc0000005, 0x80866c8e, 0xF89862E0, 0xF8985FE0)

Damn!!! Thought I was in the clear......

Any thoughts?

TripleR - I am about 85 miles north of NYC however I do work in Manhattan. Florida is nice, I go there often since my parents are there. It's a nice change!!!

Oh Hum...Back to XP hell......I am going to try another HDD, I have another new WD 120g SE to try.

I would expect bad RAM or a crap CD at this point. A ****tzled NIC also comes to mind.

In other words:
it could be anything.
BTW:
who are you tonight in chat?

You will always get 8mb unpartitioned space with xp, no matter what size of drive.

i have had this happen to me twice, and both times it was ram that was working at one point but did not like the new configuration.

so, whoever is running the book, put me down for ram.

[mattyx]

this of course is going on the assumption that this is being installed from a legit original of xp pro.....

Probably bad ram, but try disabling pnp and set hd to cselect. XP and 2000. Both try to override some hardware inf's.

i bought a new mobo and processor and went to reinstall and it would error out on me just like you are saying. there can be a million things that can go wrong but if you have a cpu that you can popl in there just to see if it is what is causing the error it is worth the time. that is the only way i found out what was wrong with my system.
