windows installation

[Kot Matroskin]

Hello, I get the following stop error while installing XP:
0x0000004e
and it says that if it's the first time I should restart computer. I did,
and now all the computer does it constantly restarts (booting from the hard
drive).

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Irina

Hi Irina,

Probably faulty or incompatible rab sticks, WinXP is very sensitive to these
types of faults. If you want to check the memory, there is a free program
here:

But keep in kind that a thorough test can only be done with test equipment
at a computer shop.
