Building a new PC, Installing XP, blue screen of death
- by Tim
I got a gigabyte barebones kit and am installing windows-XP(SP1) and the initial setup works, then it restarts and goes into the second phase of the setup. Then when installing components (I think that's what it says) it gets half way done and comes up with a blue screen saying IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
BUT! I had gotten past that by installing windows-XP media center addition
Now I am trying to install the drivers for my Asus ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card and I get another blue screen of death that doesnt give much info something about address x0000005.
Would you think there is something wrong with something in my system or do you think if I got windows 7 that would take care of things? Sorry for probably not giving enough info.
Here is what I have
MotherBoard - Gigabyte S-series GA-H55M-S2(v)
PSU - Ultra 500 watt atx
HDD - Sata serial ATA Seagate Baracudda 7200
CPU - Intel i3
Memory - 4gig crucial
Graphics Card - Asus ATI Radeon 5770 1Gig DDR5
