    HDD chras, bought a new one (hitachi ATA 500MB deskstar) and mounted on the PC.
    BIOS recognized the HDD and I put the first bot from CD DVD.
    Used my boot and instalation cd with xp sp3, and the HDD was formatted and the OS installed .
    Downloaded all MS updates incl.validering and authenticity test, all ok.
    Begin to install various apps. suddenly the computer shut down, black screen, the computer starts again,
    boot and shutdown, and so on.Used the boot CD to format partition 1 C: FileSystem NTFS, alvays ok.
    (if I selected quick format, it could not be done ) files whas now transferred to the partition,
    When it was finished, the system suddenly stops, and there will blue screen with info.
    a serious error has occurred and the PC is shut down.
    To move forward from there must supply to the PC is interrupted, and so on.
    Some help is desirable.
    best regards OLDI:(

    Hi

    What is the BSOD message code in full?

    Did you install all of your hardware drivers before installing applications, eg. Chipset, LAN, Graphics etc?

    Can you boot into Safe Mode (F8 at boot) ok?


    I would be tempted to start a new install and this time delete the created partition over just re-formatting it, then format and install Windows, then install the hardware drivers first, chipset is the first to install and reboot after installing then install the other drivers, then reboot and test PC works ok,

    then install one app and a time and reboot to allow you to maybe find a culprit if this happens again.

    thanks for helping.
    They succeeded once to get the OS installed. First I installed drivers for the motherboard (not BIOS) reboot ok.
    So I installed drivers for VGA card, after reboot the system shut down
    and the blue screen with white text came up with the text,
    a serious error has occurred and the system shuts down to prevent damage
    FN_LIST_CORRUPT
    STOP: 0x0000004E (0x00000099 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x00009C5A)
    I have tried many times to reinstall the OS. Either are above text
    or text formatting can not be performed. I have also tried with a replacement of
    the graphic card, but without result
    F8 have no funktion
    Yours sincerely OLDI
