Greetings, gentlemen. I hope you all are in good health. The reason I have created this thread is as an appeal for help - I have recently attempted to build a new system (after being out of the loop for ~5 years) which had been going fairly smoothly, until I tried to install a copy of XP (which is old, SP1 or possibly before - but it's the only legit copy I own).
The HD is freshly formatted, and completely blank, but whenever setup begins, I run into a 0x00000050 error. I've read that this can be due to RAM failure, but I've run Memtest x86 and found no problems, though my understanding on the program is rudimentary at best.
I should mention that I've attempted to run Chkdsk /f and it locks up around 50%.
Anyways, My Specs Are Below:
■650W Antec EarthWatts PS (80 Plus)
■GA-890XA-UD3 (Rev 1) MOBO
■AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4 Ghz
■G.Skill Eco DDR3-1600 PC3-12800 2GBx2 (default timings)
■XFX HD5770 1GB
■1TB 7200.12 Seagate HD
Any help at all is and will be appreciated. Thanks!
