$2000 build... theres a problem
Ok so here is the build I have:
Mobo:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131227 Harddrive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Tpk=ST3500630A Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819115017 Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231122 VC: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...Tpk=PVT88PYDE4 Power: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817341002 The problem I am running into is when I try to install windows. The computer starts up just fine, and I can get into and play with bios, but when I insert the vista cd the problems start. It starts going, and does the busy "Im thinking bar"... I get a pretty background image right before the blue screen that leaves me with the error: system _service_exception stop: 0x0000003b (0x00000000c0000005.......... I can keep going if it will help any one understand what is going on. I have this and another error with a seven instead of a three but same blue fun'ness depending on whether I set the memory on bio's to auto or 800... which is where it is supposed to be. Any help would be much appreciated.... I don't know where to go from here really. I have double checked all my connections... and they all seem to be ok... but something must not be right otherwise I wouldn't be getting this message.?! I thought maybe I was supposed to format the drive but nothing seems to work... and if memory serves me correctly windows cd's are supposed to do all that for you now days.

Test the RAM with Memtest86+.
Try another optical drive. You're actually using a IDE hard drive instead of a SATA one? Is your optical drive IDE or SATA? Try installing Windows with just one stick of RAM installed.  Cricket

Yeah... I know... IDE is really not the way to go. I thought I had bought an SATA drive until it came in the mail... checked my invoice and that was indeed what I had bought. It was on a one day sale and for some reason just assumed. Should I try to send it back and get an SATA brought in? The problems wouldn't be with that would it? When I start up bios seems to recognize the drive before it tries to run windows. The optical drive is an SATA drive, at least I managed to get that right.
I am running the memtest86... and ... well so far it has 8319 errors... so perhaps this is my problem... though I am not sure how to ratify it. Does this just mean I have some bad sticks of memory? The errors started around the 8mb tests, and have pretty steadily kept on trucking since then... it has been going for about a half hour now... ooh... wait... its up to 13040 errors now... will starting up with one stick help this? |

Cricket... you are my hero... one of the sticks was bad and apparently that was the one I kept using on my single tries... so lesson learned... no wine while working on computer. Now I just have to talk Newegg into just letting me send back one of the sticks and not the other. Will the IDE work fine or should I just upgrade to the SATA and pay for my mistake?

If they came in a pack, then you really should just send back the pack and get another one.
