Topic: Windows XP Installation Shits

Hi,

Will anybody mind helping out with why a systems will just blanks out into a sky-blue screen (Typically XP's Blue Color) about 7 mins before windows xp installation Finishes and perpetually stays like that?

I honestly have never come across this kind of problem and would appreciate any help.. I have tried repeating the process all over but the systems acts the same when it gets to about 7mins to finishing installation it is still hanging there as I write!

Somebody help me!

Same ol me,

Fikzy

Since you say you have never come across this kind of problem, i will assume that this is a new machine youre referring to.
Read your motherboard manual, to check on this:

New computer models, have hardware functions not supported by windows, without some extra drivers being installed. As such, it is required for you to install those drivers just as the windows install begins. Or as an alternative, if you have no use for those hardware functions, you can disable them in the bios.

Like i said, for more information read the motherboard manual.

If you have no access to the manual, you can try and go to the bios and in the ide settings or such, choose the "non-raid" functionality.

You can also try and flash the bios, if none of this solves your problem.

It's none of my business, but I will assume that if it was a genuine Windows version, you'd have genuinely contacted the Helpdesk
of the pc vendor, or Microsoft for that matter.

Correct me if I am wrong.

And if I am wrong, call them first, you will spare yourself headaches.
