Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to install XP onto a P4 system but the install keeps locking
a minute or so after entering the licence key. I've stripped the system
to the bare minimum components (cd-rom, hard drive, single memory) but
it's still locking. The board is a Gigabyte GA-8IG1000-G, Googling this
suggested that I disable as many of the un-necessary components as
possible in the BIOS but still no joy. Any other suggestions, what have
I missed?

Cheers




First check to confirm all cooling fans are working


run a ram test


run the hard drive diagnostic


If all else fails, disable acpi in the bios
