reboot during install

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.help_and_support (More info?)

Hi,

I just assembled a PC system
see: http://www.roderik.net/pc.php for specs.
When I try to install windows xp it reboots at the step: 'ntfs file system'.
Any idea what might be the problem?

With the drivers it freezes at the point:

Problem was in the fact that one DIMM of RAM was damaged (found out
after a memory test).
