Windows XP Issue

[taker707]

Everytime i try and put windows XP on my System it loads it for a min or so then when it says starting windows i get an error message stating windows has been shut down to protect your system ? HELP?

Blue screen of death, or what? Not that great of information here.

Gotta agree with Req here...not giving us much to go on.

What "system" do you have? Maybe it's old and doesn't have sufficient processing power/memory. Are you also running another version of Windows/some other OS? Are you using a genuine copy of XP? Are you upgrading from an older version of Windows? Did you format the HD prior to loading XP?

its a blue screen its on a brand new system that i have had nothing but problems with since i opened it on friday . its a genuine copy of windows xp.

If you have had nothing but problems with it, send it back. There could be hardware issues.

OK.

Best advice right now - if it's a brand new system, take it back to where you bought it and get them to fix it. Anything you may now try could void any warranty or service support.

Req beat me to it...but really - take it back.

i emailed the computer company they are sending me out brand new disks

I had the same issue when I got this PC. I had to upgrade my BIOS as the CPU was too good for the BIOS revision.

If you can, get a friend to download the BIOS onto a flash CD for your motherboard and read the motherboard manual for instructions for updating from CD.

I thought PCs weren't being sold with XP anymore...

Yeah, they better be still offering XP, because Vista is a pile of shit. I know Dell still does, IIRC. They even offer Ubuntu, too.
