Hello..
I have a p4 2.4 ghz machine with a 256mb ddr ram and a 40 gb harddisk.I dont know whats wrong with it now...Everytime I try to install windows,I get this blue screen saying error in Memory_Management..
I tried changing the ram of the pc with the same 256 ddr ram from another pc.I tried changing the harddisk.I tried removing every card too.Still,Im having the same error.Could this be because of the power supply?
Thanks :)
I seriously doubt this would be the power supply, What version of Windows are you trying to install?? :ehh:Quote:

Maybe your disk ins't formatted correctly :ehh:
Try booting fdisk and doing a quick re-arrange of partitions (Deleting/Creating etc.) then formatting them through the WinXP install.
- I can't be responsible for any fo the above as data loss may be caused etc., it's only what I've done before ;)
hahaha,no no,u wont be responsible for anything :)
Ive tried formatting,doing everything with the disk and stuff.. :) all tried and seen wtever given above :D
hmmmmm, ever thought of going to the TUX side??
U mean the Linux side?lol...tried all that stuff ..but,here,the problem isnt with the OS..its with the hrdware i guess :)...most prolly the power supply cos,ive checked the ram too
To be honest, I really don't understand why you think it's to do with the power supply, unless it's a laptop, it shouldn't make a difference :ehh:
(And I bet Tux could fix it ;) )
Ive tried switching all the parts..Tried repartitioning,formatting,changing everything...
And now the only 2 parts which Ive not changed is the motherboard and powersupply..
I just hope the motherboard didnt get screwed.. I suspect the power supply finally :)
Motherboard, no probs, I can get hold of one for £30, my Server's going for a new one :p
The last time this happend to me, was because the Ram was failing to keep the required files in memory.. I suggest you upgrade the Ram to 512Mb as 256 is the minimum spec for XP Pro.
I totally agree :p :lol:Quote:

And after an other month,my comp cant demand a 1gb ram :-s computer maintanence seems really hard these days
How about your bios and processors? Are they working fine?
yes,Im just hoping that they have to or its gonna be a loss for me
Have you tried using your installer on other computers? Perhaps your installer is the problem and not your computer. ;)
No,Its not the problem with the installer.Ive even tried another copy of the same cd..:)
Your Ram is the issue, how long have you had it...
I had the exact same problem, upgraded the ram by buying a 512mb and used it along side the 256 and it's been working fine.. even got vista working this time around..
If Ram is the problem,then how was it working fine for more than a year? It was working fine with a 256mb ddr ram.I even tried putting another 256 mb ddr ram from another good computer.But still,Im having the same problem :(
