I keep getting an XP stop error during the clean initial installation of Windows XP Professional 0x0000007B. I'm installing from the CD drive, the drivers load, the screen says " starting windows", then I get the blue screen of death. The text says I may have a virus, but it is a new system with al new parts. I have swapped the motherboard from an ASUS P4S533 to an ASUS P4B266c, I've swapped video cards, RAM, hard drives and even power supplies. There are no other PCI cards in the system. The error stays the same each time I try to insatall the OS. Microsoft has no clue as to teh problem. I can format the HDD from the CD, but still get the error. I've built a few systems with this same setup and never had a problem ( same OS). Help, please.
The current setup is:
Asus P4B266 motherboard
P4 1.6GHz processor
256 MB PC2100 DDR RAM
Western Digital 20GB, 7200rpm HDD
NVIDIA TNT2 4xAGP Video
Sony 24x/10x/4ox CDRW
Mitusmi 3.5FDD
