Hey guys,

I have a problem with my current configuration. I have a working version of windows xp 32bit on my Asus NCCH-dl Dual Xeon setup (4gbRAM).

However whenever I try to install another copy of xp (any version - though I am setting up a dual boot for 64bit windows again after my last HDD died) the PC simply powers off during setup.

It is the same point everytime, just at inital windows setup, when it tries to load the KERNEL to memory? Before I get to any partitions or drivers or anything else?!

Any ideas? Could this be anything to do with the bios / or RAM

Im going to try memtest asap.

Thanks people..
