Hello. Let me first say I am no noob with this sort of stuff and I have checked my system up and down with memory tests, HDD tests Optical Drive Diagnostics, I tested my PSU using a testing devise that tells power output and stability, and even a Graphics card replacement using an older card to test...
The problem is that every time I try and install Windows XP Pro off my OEM XP-SP1 CD it loads up, I load the SATA drivers and Partition the hard rive,(Full NTSF Format on one of my SATA Drives, but I have also tried my IDE 80GB and 60GB just to be shore) it runs the Copy Data, and reboots. All well and good until i get to the Windows Load screen. The system Force reboots and comes up with the last attempt to load failed would you like to lead last known good configuration page, so I loaded up Safe mode and it started to page out the modules as they started up, then it crashed again wall loading them... I figured I would test other options OS's and Boot disks to see what's what. First I fully booted up my copy of The Ultimate Boot CD For Windows V3.5 witch acts as a sort of tool loaded Windows XP Live CD, no problems there and it let me do the diagnosticians as said before(ubcd4win.com I recommend that every Tech make a copy) I then moved to Linux as my primary OS and downloaded the newest 9.04 Ubuntu install CD. i am running perfectly now and I have got most things running using Cydaga and Wine for Games and Windows apps in Linux or a Full install of XP off my CD with my Key running very fast in Sun Micro Systems Virtual Box Virtual machine.
Long winded but that's the problem.
This is the last of a long list of problems started a long time ago.
My system started to crash if it was being loaded up with apps and really started to piss me off if it happened in game or video editing... So i swopped out the Motherboard with my backup, both being ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe boards but the first having the 1404 beta Bios and the one that's in now has the stable alternative... the system ran well for a bit but still crashed though less often... I did a Memore scan suing Memtestx86 and found out that one of my Crusal Ballistic 512MB PC3200 sticks 1 of 4 total 2GB had errors and had to be pulled, I sent the matched pare in to crusial under warranty and they sent me back OEM sticks not Gamer sticks so i had to through in my backup sticks from before I got the Gamer ram in the first place to get back up to 2GB or ram. That helped with that so I re installed windows again before I went to a local Gaming convention. there I discovered that one of the two cores on my Opteron 185 Dual Core server Processor had burnt out and that the install of windows I had done before the con was running single core(Half the Opteron was still faster then needed for the older games we play like Broodware and Freelancer so it was no bother at that time). I had sold my old Socket 939 Athon X2 3800+ for some Gas cash about 3 months before so my father (Computer Salesmen at the local computer store) hooked me up with an older but still nice FX53 single core gamer chip that his customer had no use for now that he had gone to a dual Core i7 Quad Core system... the FX53 runs fine and cool.
After that how ever this problem came up and I have been those far un-able to figure out what realy is wrong.
After all that I think it would be good to give my running specs for any one who might know the Problem or have an Idea I have yet to look into.
