I recently built a home server using WHS (trial version). Everything was going fine until I decided to install the windows updates. All of a sudden my server BSOD's.
Since then I have been trying to reinstall WHS and XP Pro to no avail. I just constantly get random BSOD's or freezes during install. The rig will post and all, but it just hangs or BSOD's when I try to install windows.
I have two sticks of RAM and I have tried using both one at a time in different slots on the mobo. I have tried two different hard drives and different windows disks, just in case there disk was causing the problem. I have tried running the minimum amount of hardware to get the rig up and running. Nothing seems to solve the problem.
Any tips or suggestions?
Specs:
NEC DVD Burner
1- SATA Hitachi 80gb HDD
Gigabyte MA785GM-US2H Mobo
AMD X2 240 CPU
Corsair TX850 PSU
Corsair CM2X512A-6400 RAM
Everything is running at stock speeds and the CPU has the stock heatsink on it.
