Hi folks,
I hit the power button on my first built pc for the first time yesterday, and was elated when it powered up without a hitch and purred like a kitten. Problems? What problems, I said. It was a piece of cake or so I thought. The nightmare came a half an hour later when the system pooped out in the middle of the XP installation caused by the dreaded IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error (0X0000000A (0X00000010, 0X00000002, 0X00000000, 0X805527BC))
The system consists of Azza Solano 1000 case, Intel i5 750 cpu, Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3R motherboard, Gigabyte GV-R467ZL-1GI 4670 gpu, OCZ Obsidian 4GB ram, Corsair CMPSU-850TX psu, and Hitachi Deskstar 2tb drive.
The error occurred about halfway into Installing Devices (after XP installation setup completed downloading files and drivers, disk partitioning and formatting, populating installation folders, and rebooting).
I am now between a rock and a hard place. To test anything including Memtest, I need a functioning os, which I don't have. I can't even flash a new bios since the new version is 2 mb, which is too large for a floppy. Through process of elimination, I have reduced the system down to the motherboard, one stick of RAM, gpu, psu, hard drive, and keyboard. I also disabled on-board USB controller, eSATA controller, parallel port, serial port, and power saving features. Yet, nothing works - one nasty error.
Replacing the ram, gpu, and then the motherboard seems to be my only option left, unless you have any idea. Desperation time, folks. Any input is much appreciated.
