    Hey all I am having a problem installing windows XP.

    I have just been out and bought all new parts for a new pc and got it all setup and running, but when I go to install winxp from boot, it loads all the files then says "Setup is prepereing to install windows" then when the actual menu comes up to start the install my pc just shuts down :(

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hi,

    Being that this is all new hardeware run memtest86 for at least 3 passes and post back the results.
    A lot of the time xp won't install correctlly because of bad ram.
    List your full system specs
