    Doing a first install on a new build.

    XP stops on "setup is starting windows" and just sits there.
    I just assembled this machine the specs are listed below

    AMD Athlon 64 3500+
    1 GIG DDR RAM
    120GB SATA HD
    K8N Neo4-F
    16x dual layer DVD burner
    Geforce 7900GT 256MB Video card

    Any help would be great

    Can you clarify on what part of the installation it freezes? I can't remember whether that message appears at the very beginning or end of installation you see

    Ok...this is gonna sound weird. It works now. Before it happened at the end just before it asks to partition the drive. I let it sit there for a good hour and half. Then just now I force restarted (for the 3rd time) and boom, it worked :confused:

    sorry for the trouble
