Leon of London, Ontario, UK. ?
Having been a hardcore Gamer for yrs, I had put up with my average PC for
too long but still managed to "own"! I finally had enough for a complete
rebuild and was straight down to Tottenham Court Road to get my bits. ASUS
P5Q PREMIUM MOTHERBOARD/2 X HD4870 RADEON GRAPHICS CARDS/ARCTIC FREEZER
XTREME CPU COOLER/4X 2GB ADATA DDR2 667MHZ RAM/INTEL CORE2 DUO E8400, 6M
CACHE, 3.00GHZ, 1333MHZ FSB/NZXT TEMPEST GAMING CASE, and my original 500gb
SATA HARD DRIVE with Windows XP installed. I spend a day carefully putting
all together ans too my suprise it all worked first time except when it came
to boot into Windows, the Windows logo shows and it starts to boot then just
shuts down or crashes, no BSOD just back to restarting BIOS and all over
again. I have tried everything bar blowing it up with no joy! I even did a
fresh install using my original Set up Disc and finally got a couple of
error messages
- "Set-up cannot set the required Windows XP configuration information. This
indicates an internal set-up error" and "An invalid parameter was passed to
a service or function"
Does anyone know what these mean? and how it can be rectified? I spent a
bloody fortune already, hope I dont have to fork out for a new O.S. set-up
disc as well??
Many Thanks in advance for your answers/Help...Leon.
