Worst install of my life. Building simple sys for a fam member, nothing exciting. Biostar mobo, Corsair ram, a WD hd & NEC DVDrw & XP Home. During install it either blue screens w/ different errors. One is the IRQ not equal, or it hangs when trying to copy file from cd. I checked the cd visually, its fine. Weird thing is, it hangs (when not blue screening) in different spots on different attempts. I made it up to 62% once before it finally locked. I have latest bios, i have no video, bios, etc cacheing, no oc, very vanilla. Im on my 10+ try & cant get it to complete. Any ideas?
 
The IRQ not equal blue screen is usually related to ram. Try different ram first. Hanging without blue screens is likely the PSU. What kind of PSU is it? Unplug all unnecessary components and try it.
 
Yup, looked to be one of the ram sticks. ran memtest & had all sorts of bad spots. Will rma it back to newegg & hopefully now complete the install on 1 stick.
thanks.
