Recently I decided to start a new project and get a new computer, so I went cheap and got a PC CHIPS mobo.

Here's the build:

PCCHIPS Mobo
AMD Duron 1.8
256pc 2700x1
GeForce4 480mx (64meg agp)
80Gig hd (from old computer).

I install it all, hook everything up (properly) and start booting into windows. I get an error, win32k.sys (accompied with bluescreen of death). So I decide to just go ahead and reload XP. After getting it reloaded, I start going into setup and it keeps locking up (blue screen) and telling me different files have caused it to crash. After a few tries with the installation I get the HD working on the computer, and it starts to automatically load the drivers, after about 10 minutes on the computer, Blue screen. I'm guessing one of the drivers with the motherboard, or video card are screwing it up and making it lock up. I'm very lost,

Some of the errors that come up are " irq_not_less_or_equal" or that MOUNTMGR.sys has caused system dump. win32k.sys,..Just stuff like that. I would love some help if you guys can invite me to your wisdom...

What I did that may have screwed it up was uncheck all of the boxes on the systemfailure box and the one above it. I'm not sure..

One thing you might try is the IDE cable. I had a friend's computer go out twice last week, and we had no fucking idea why. It ended up that his IDE cable was faulty and that *most* of the information was tranferring correctly.

Take one new IDE cable, one format, one fresh install, and a glass of lemonade and call me in the morning.
