OK I'm about to got NUTSSSS
I know my way around a computer, I have built them in my sleep (literally) but I'm having a problem that I have never had, and no one knows an answer. I can't get ANY os on my new machine. I got a new board. ( a gigabyte p4 titan 667) and a new processor (2.4ghz celeron) and new ram ( gig [2 512 sticks] of ram 2700, the cheap stuff the sell at the computer sale shows [yea i cut a corner]) anyway I tried to load the os and the first thing it does is when copying files to the drive it can't find random files on the disk that I eventually I have to skip, so I figure cd rom is going bad right switch that about 3 times then I guess it might be a hd issue so I switch that then the same thing happens but it gets a little further, now it gets to all the way through this ( with me skipping files and it blue screens right at the end where it is about to reboot, with all different errors ( at least it gives me variety) like irq equal or greater than and cdfs structure and memory managment. Ok so I get the memory managment error and figure I have bad ram so I go back to the vendor at the show and switch out the ram and I get a Little bit further, this time it reboots and goes into the install phase and when it gets to 34 min left with installing devices it blue screens, now I can't tell you what the error is this time because the screen goes HAYWIRE. It looks like a vhs with the tracking tuned all the way left or right. I called windows and they said it MUST BE HARDWARE AND THEY CAN'T HELP ME... i DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL TO DO.
SOMBODY HELP PLEASE!
 
first off, calm down.

now. sounds like it might be a FSB issue with the IDE. are you overclocking at all? do you have the settings absolutly correct in BIOS?
 
If anything is overclocked, return it to default. Try resetting the BIOS/CMOS to defaults so that it can detect CPU ID and Memory SPD. If that doesn't solve it then run memtest and see if your seeing errors in the memory structure. It checks through more than strictly the RAM.
