NEW MOTHERBOARD/CPU PROBLEMS.

[nigel]

Have installed new motherboard and cpu [athlon xp2400]but
system unstable with blue page errors 'page error on
unpaged area' or 'PFN corrupt'.Tried a clean install of XP
but after formatting hard drive get these errors before I
can install XP?

Hi

Check the ram sticks to ensure they are firmly and properly seated into the DIMM slots
If you have more than one ram sticks, they might be not exactly matched or faulty.
Try just use one ram stick (not less than 128 MB) to reinstall XP
If XP can be loaded successfully, change the ram sticks to test them each at one time
If XP can be booted up with each ram stick, the ram sticks should be not matched
