Trying to install windows XP pro on my newly partitioned and formatted WD 40GB hard drive. everytime i try to install it, i get a error codes.... 0x0000008e, 0x00000050, 0x0000007e...etc. all are RAM based errors, but i have gone thru 4 different sticks of ram new and old. ive ran them all thru memtest and all have failed. with the ram i am only using one stick at a time, they r all 256MB and are DDR DIMM 184-pin modules i dont know what else to do. ive installed the latest BIOS from the manufacturer, ive switched out video cards, hard drives, cd-roms, and motherboards... the only thing i havent replaced or tried to replace is the CPU. Im running a Syntax Motherboard K7SV266AD with a AMD Athlon XP 2000+ processor.... the computer has been down for months and need it working... any suggestions?

Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

this computer worked flawlessly for a long time, just put in a new motherboard a few months ago. i installed a boot screen changer and messed with that and totally messed up the computer. so i d/l a win98 boot disk and did a complete hard drive reformat and tried installing XP pro and home... both dont work, and they are orignal copies...
