I was working on my Windows XP professional & all of a sudden there came a blue screen with a message that some harware is not installed properly,etc(i.e. Blue Screen Of Death). I tried to restart my PC (P-III) but CTRL+ALT+DEL was not working. Then I tried to open my PC with my other Window i.e. 98. It worked only for once but afterwords stopped working & was asking for system registry. Even I was unable to format PC. I had changed my hard disk & detached all hardwares but again same message was coming at the time of installation of XP. 98 were installed but graphics were a big problem in 98 as well. In today's date I have withdrawn everything from my PC be it is USB Card or Ethernet Cards. Cross Checked & reinstalled my RAM(128), & have even showed my PC to several Hardware engineers but now also I am recieving same problem while installing Window XP. Please help me!

1. Blue Dead screen is coming during installation -- at the time of restart of PC , after copying Window XP files.
2. I was using Window 98 on patition I & window XP Professional since a long time & both of them were working in fantastic way, before arisal of this problem.-Although I was having same RAM,other hardwares, etc.
3. Window 98 has been installed succesfully although it is giving 16 colurs only.
4. I am able to install Window 2000(Advance Server) on my second partion & it is working successfully.

Did you try changing your Hard Drive cable? Do you have the HDD and the CD Drive on the same cable?
I had a similar problem when both were on the same cable and had to use separate cables.

need more information if your installing service pack 2 version you may need more ram ive installed xp on a 200mz pentium with 128 but i think the min is 175 mz so if your faster than that it sounds like you have an unstable system when your comp boots the video bios screen should just flash for a second then the memory test should be finished drive dection should flash for a second if you have a raid array it should fash then the post boot then if system hangs on any of these that should show you were your problems are some hardware parts are not very compatable with each other give more information about all the parts in you comp and tests youve done and people can give better than genric answers hope this helps

Do not fret, your computer hardware is fine and nothing has given up. just that your computer resources are insufficient for features of Windows XP.
First of all, Windows XP Requires a minimum of 256MB RAM, Recomended 512 MB as it uses a lot of graphics resources, and I believe u dont have an AGP card on your sustem.
Well it would be really difficult to RUN Windows XP on a 128 MB Ram with a PIII Precessor.
There is one solution to this problem, you can do a Custom Installation of XP and make sure to increase the PAGE file size on your system..Dedicate more space for virtual memory...
The best thing to do is to add another 128/256 MB RAM of the same speed along with the existing RAM and then do an installation of WINDOWS XP. this should be an ultimate solution.

You went to great lengths it sounds to reinstall XP. At what point does this blue screen come up? What does the error message say exactly? And finally, at boot, did you go to set up (F2) and check your system for configuration problems?

Hi,
Sufiyan is here
This problem is caused probably by RAM . you should hv to change your RAM after all it dosn't give U any problem like death screen n all in Windows XP pro or Home Edition. and even you can loose ur win98 registry problem too.

yes you can use xp home but if it comes up with aload of x0000x(*****) for eg what are they e-mail them on here you can remove the pci card the white slots on your board, it doesnt matter if you dont have service pack 2 or not ,that wouldnt cause it as thats what i use to have on my comp with a pci-e video i suggest try cleaning your disc make sure the memory is plugged in properly and hasnt come loose but if you can tell me that number i should be able to tell you the problem hope this helps IT Technican
