i heard there is a program to fix this but dont know what it is !
brand new hard drive , swapped ram with know good stick of 512 ddr 2700 . brand new jetway everything mother board - switched cpu, from a xp 1900 to a xp 2200 , swap out cables swap out floppy drives , replaced power supplys . just to begin with so you all know .
also reset bios by pulling jumper and also removing the battery and waiting as long as 10 mins to reinstall it back onto the motherboard .

tryed starting to load windows xp on this computer using 2 diffrent sets of the 6 disk windows xp recovery disks .also windows xp corp . and windows xp upgrade retail -that i own .

here is the problem we get thought the setup to the point it should load windows . then it do's one of two things restarts and trys doing the start load all over again or go's to a blue screen of death ?


im so lost -only thing we not swap out is cd-r burner a hp -and replaced the case it's self .
any ideas guys

What exactly is happening? Are you installing XP? Or is it installed and crashing when it's booting up?

Sounds like then either you installed a bad driver during loading (SATA driver maybe?) or the motherboard is bad.

Does the BSoD have an Error code? If so the exact problem is not hard to track down, and may be avoidable

Any beeps while going through the post? Go into the bios and make sure you tell it to use default settings.

Otherwise, as EC suggested, sounds like a bad component. I had a similiar issue on a MB, found out the Bios was bad.

Do you have a system floppy? Try booting off that just to see if you can get to a dos prompt.

Duh... Missed that... good suggestion HellFire. Check the BIOS, make sure it's the latest version. If it is, try downgrading one version.
