Guest JustinSane Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I got my new machine setup and when I go to install Windows it get to the Loading setup files (Windows Executive) part and it doesn't move from there. Anyone know what that could be? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinvented Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Try installing with only 1GB of memory in the furthest orange slot from CPU? Try that, and let us know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Installing Windows now with 1 stick. What does that mean? I tested these sticks with MemTest on my last machine so they aren't bad sticks.

Reinvented Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Well, sometimes windows doesn't *like* to install with more than 1GB. I am completely unsure why. But, when I was running 4x512, I had to install only 1 stick and then proceed from there. Let me know how that works. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinvented Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Exactly! It's not too much of an inconvenience, but hey, if it works. So, it is working for you now? It's able to get past that one part? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reinvented Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Contact a moderator and asked them to change it a resolved status. It's good to do that as problems arise and get taken care of. This way, people will know what worked, and what didn't. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this screan appears again, follow these steps: Disable or uninstall any anti-virus, disk, defragmentation or backup utilities. Check your hard drive config and check for any updated drivers.

Reinvented Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 Are you using only one drive? Or is it in a RAID array? If you're using one drive, check bios to make sure it's set correctly in the Boot Menu. After that, try another reinstall. But, when you install windows, do a full format, not quick. Do NOT put the other memory sticks in until you can boot into windows. Also, are you installing with a Slipstreamed Windows CD with Service Pack 2?
