Awhile back my bro bought an HP. Recently I put in a new mobo, he wanted a faster CD-RW, he upgraded to a 9600np, and we got a new case w/ the hi-Q 350W @ newegg.
Shuttle AN35N-Ultra
AMD 2000+ palomino
512MB of PC2100 ram
80GB HDD
ATI 9600np
CD-RW
DVD-ROM
No PCI cards installed
First I was getting an error "saying we could not coppy such and such a file," when windows was loading its setup files. That was w/ pre installed from HP, and I was reinstalling from a CD. Now after reformatting the HDD, loading linux on to it to make sure the system was groovey (which ran fine for the short while I played w/ it), and trying to install windows, it locks up at the point "setup is now starting windows." That's when num locks stops working. Then I get to the screen press enter to install, r to repair, or F3 to exit. I suppose it could be the keyboard crapping out. It's USB, I'll try it with an adapter next. But I'm pretty sure it's just locking up. I also tried higher memory voltages which didn't do it.
What do ya think?
