I just upgraded my system from Opteron 185 to Core 2 Extreme x6800.
Now my system won't finish installing winxp without BSOD.

I've updated the BIOS to 1334

Now to the question.... does my system have enough power?

Silverstone 750W
Intel Conroe X6800
Intel D975XBX
2 x 1GB Corsair 6400C4
4 x 150GB Raptors - RAID0
ATI X1900XTX + ATI X1900 Crossfire edition
2 x Plextor PX-760

I have no problem before I upgrade and everything else is using same hardware except for CPU and mobo which were Opteron 185 and Abit AT8 32x.

Pls help.

Thanks for the replies. I tried running 1 video card, xp installed no problem. once i run crossfire mode, my system gives me BSOD right away. I havent test the RAM yet. But I will do that tonight.

So you were able to finish your install using just one video card right?

you really shouldn't try using CF or SLI until the OS is installed anyway.
