I have some computer knowledge and have reciently purchaced a computer with

Asus P5e-vm do motherboard
3x WD 2.5 GB Sats Hard drives
4x Elixir 1GB .2Rx8 PC2-6400U Ram

This has Intel Matrix Storage Manager Software
The Raid volume was setup prior to when the machine was recieved I loaded Windows XP Pro and completed the (f6) instillation formated the HD with NTFS on the drives 4.5??? for the size and loaded the operating system, after the restart window xp spalsh screen loads and then a quick BSD pops and the system restarts. now all i does is loop from the start up to the splash screen and reboot , i have tried to pause on the BSD screen but could not get it before reboot.

I would please appreciate any help i could get to get this system up and running


Thank you very much Dan2112

Tap F8 before windows load, select "disable automatically restart...", jot down the 0x000000?? error code & any offending program filename like ????????.dll in the blue screen, google them.

Oh, you're using 4 sticks of ram, you may need more memory voltage. 2.1v would work. Best look up your ram specs.
