Hi everyone, Hopefully this is in the right area; please let me know the right thread if this isn't it. My uncle finish is trying to installing a new PC with XP but keeps running into BSoDs in the middle of installation for the "ntfs.sys" file. We have tried many things suggested online, but none have gotten us past the second part of installation (where the windows start resembling XP). He has a all newly bought Gigabyte EP43-UD3L mobo, eVGA e-GeForce 7200 GS, 2x 2GB RAM @ 1066 MHz, Intel Core2Duo E7400, WD Caviar Green 750 GB SATA HDD, and some unknown modem card. We began trying to install XP SP1, but the system would BS before we could record any error messages. Then, we tried a slipstreamed SP2 disc from here and made it to installation. It then had trouble copying "luna.mst" and "wmploc.dll," which we supposedly managed to install by Retrying repeatedly. Before XP could finish though, we get a normal BSoD pointing out "ntfs.sys" and "page_fault_in_nonpaged_area." The furthest we got was after my uncle removed the modem card. The only error that came up during the blue installation screen was "wmvcore.dll", which got the same Retry treatment. Things looked good when we got to the higher-res XP installation screen... then the screen of blue, with ntfs.sys once again. I can post more info if needed. Can anyone please help shed some light on this situation? Many thanks, Jeffery
have you tried installing a different operating such as vista? I would also try running memtest with one module of ram at a time. or even trying to install Xp again with just one module of ram at a time.
Try running Memtest86+ overnight and see if you get any memory errors. Even one error is one too many to have a stable system.
