Windows xp setup bluescreen

Both do the same job, it's just up to you which you choose, or which you have available whether it's CD or USB. How Memtest works: Memtest86 writes a series of test patterns to most memory addresses, reads back the data written, and compares it for errors. The default pass does 9 different tests, varying in access patterns and test data.

A tenth test, bit fade, is selectable from the menu. It writes all memory with zeroes, then sleeps for 90 minutes before checking to see if bits have changed perhaps because of refresh problems. This is repeated with all ones for a total time of 3 hours per pass. If the expected memory speed is overclocked, Memtest86 can test that memory performance is error-free with these faster settings.

This is a reference to Intel Performance acceleration technology; there may be BIOS settings which affect this aspect of memory timing. This information, if available to the program, can be displayed via a menu option. Do note that the only difference is simply the environment you're running it in.

In Windows, if you are having what you believe to be device driver related issues that may cause conflicts or false positive, it may be a wise decision to choose the most minimal testing environment DOS.

If you install Windows XP on a modern system, you may experience a blue screen error. This article will help you fix this. In your case it sounds like a physical RAM i. Also read MS KB Yes sorry, my computer model is a Dell Dimension E I cannot go into safe mode because either 1.

The blue screen shows up, or 2. While it's loading the system files I think they're called? It always stops in the middle of it and safe mode never boots up.

I finished running the Dell Diagnostics and this is the only problem it showed during the diagnostic. As you have already removed and reinstalled all the memory modules and the system still does not boot, try the following: Remove all the memory modules, then install only one module in slot 1, then see if the system boots and if the computer starts normally, reinstall an additional module.

Does not boot, move the module to slot 2 and again see if the system boots, no boot, try the module in slot 3, no boot, try installing in slot 4. Still does not boot, then remove the first module and using the second one, repeat the sequence described above.

Still no boot, try installing any remaining modules, one at a time, using the above procedure. Continue until you have identified a faulty module [or slot] or reinstalled all modules without error.

Then if the computer still does not start, it's possible that the motherboard has failed and needs to be replaced. Whichever one I pressed, the system self rebooted, and brung me back to the same page. I moved the stick to the 2nd 3rd and 4th slots and I got same results.

I tried the other RAM stick on the first slot, and the system actually loaded and brung me to the new user setup keep in mind i did a system restore but the blue screen persisted.

I turned it off, inserted the second memory stick into the second slot and system told me the memory had changed, I pressed F1 to continue, system booted up perfectly. After I am done with the new user setup, I am going to remove the added stick down to slot three, keep the working stick on slot one, and see if system boots, and will repeate the process by putting stick in slot three and put it in slot 4.

One question i am confused about, I read online about my system and the RAM in which if i installed new ram I would have to install two of the same sticks? If anyone could shed some light if i could have stick number one in white slot, and stick number two on the black slot?

I have run into a new problem. Stick one is in slot one white slot and stick two is in slot two black. After the initial setup where it asks you where you live, time zone, and user information as such when you get the brand new computer, I entered all my information, and at the part where it says "system will set up something like that please wait one minute as to where the computer will show a blank screen.

DO NOT shut off the computer at this time". I let it do that, and i came back and got a "windows message" saying "the system is not fully installed, please run setup again. I have the following discs which read:. Contents: -HTML user documentation, -drivers inf, icm, and cat files.
