Boot up in safe mode.

Right click My computer/properties/device manager.

Look at the HDD and CD drives. Do you have the DMA box ticked for any of them?

Untick if you can, and see if that does it.

Check your BIOS to see if voltage and temp are OK, and/or maybe change RAM's setting more conservative.

:smile: Good or Bad have no meaning at all, depends on what your point of view is.

I'm actually having the same problem -- does anyone know how to fix this? I haven't even gotten to the windows xp install phase yet.
