I am having a real shitty time trying to install any O/S onto this thing and it's driving me nuts. I want to install XP SP2 but all i get up to is the beggining of the core drivers and that's it. It just sits there and doesn't load anything.

I have tried switching out the ram, changing cd rom drive, different hdd and changing the cd rom and hdd to work on either of the 2 ide lines. Still nothing.

Any help would be great.

P.S. If wanted to actually look at it i would bring it to respawn in January for anyone to look at it.

I found out what it was. It was the ram after all. I should have mentioned before that the cpu fan was actually fucked on it. So I went and got a cheapy cpu fan from ebay and then it occured to me to try the ram again as it may have just been over heating earlier. Fixed it instantly. now i just need to replace the faulty stick. laugh.gif

Just a follow up. All the ram sticks turned out fine. They mustn't have been sitting right. So in the end it's all good. But now I got a sound prob with the onboard sound. So i'll just wack a pci sound card in it.

Wrong drivers, physically broken, or not plugged in properly.
