Have you tried putting the "clean HD" from your 2.4G system into the 'puter in question? There might be a write problem on the WD HD.

Tried partitioning without the SP3-4 box ticked, and got shut down even faster. After the 'ENTER' to setup W2K, it immediately goes to
** STOP" 0x00000050 (0xE105E1A0,0x00000001, 0x80469E1B,0x00000001) PAGE_DEFAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA ** Address 80469E1B base at 80400000, DateStamp 3975dfdf - ntoskrnl.exe |

Try swapping out your memory.

Have you been through the bios with a fine toothed comb? Restored bios defaults for grins? |

Don't know if you're still having problems but it sounds like a hard drive problem to me. As Phobia suggested, try another hard drive in the PC. If it works, make sure you get a warranty replacement from WD.

So it's down to the the MOBO, IDE interface or the memory. I've changed everything but the MOBO and memory. I've changed the power supply, HD, IDE cables, video card, CD/DVD drive. I've gone through the Bios with a fine toothed comb and everything appears kosher. I haven't done a Bios clear and reset yet, but will when I get a little more energy. One thing that was strange. First off, there is no place in the Bios to disable onboard video, but I assume that happens automatically when the AGP slot is filled. Second, when I went to the onboard video [Radeon 9200], when the errors started showing up, the video when wonky too. Just a plain blue screen with random blacked out squares. The MOBO is brand new. The memory is a brand new pair of 512MB PC-3200 DIMMs. |

I've seen bios incompatibility with OS's. You may wish to check with the mobo manufacturer to see if they've had any other issues reported.

Make sure the timings for your memory are set correctly. Also, try flashing the BIOS with the latest firmware. I'd alsy try switching out the memory with some known good memory. Just being brand new doesn't necessarily mean its good.

Also, if you have more then one DIMM, try one and then the other.
HW issues are such a pain. Personally I would unplug everything not needed, take out the new video card and everything else, make sure the settings are right in the BIOS for your RAM and the HD and try again. It sounds like you tried switching cables, so that doesn't appear to be the issue. yuck! |

Try what Morphius said regarding the memory but I'd be surprised if the memory is the problem. |

Ensure your CPU and memory clock multipliers are properly set. If set too high (overclocked), you'll get funky results like the ones you've listed.

In course of discovering this, I took out the second DIMM, to run with just 512MB. OS installed fine. Then I put the second DIMM back in. The system kept restarting. Took both out, and put the DIMM from the second seat into the primary seat alone. OS started fine. Went to put the DIMM [originally from the primary seat] back into the secondary seat and the retaining clip popped off the MOBO into my hand. Gingerly, I replaced the retaining clip and shoved the DIMM into the seat [with authority!!!]. Now things look kosher. |
