I'm having trouble installing WindowsXP PRO
on this board:
GA-K8VM800M Rev 1
BIOS updated to F8
Sempron64 2600
1 stick of 512Meg Double sided DDR 400
80 GIG WD Drive
DVD/CDRW Combo
Boot from cdrom works, windows starts to load,
gets through the EULA and formats and starts
the file copy process then gives me a file copy error,
or, if it happens to finish the file copy, upon restart
gives me a blue screen STOP 0x0000008e
I've heard of the AMD64 memory limitation
but not quite sure how to read it.
It says that 1 dim of "x8 double rank" DDR400
should work. Am I assuming that x8 double rank
is 8 chips per side?
I removed the 512 and installed 1 Single sided
256 DDR400. (8 chip) Same problem.
Any ideas?
any good tutorials on memory and how they are
banked - timed ect. What works with what?
Thanks
John
