Winxp install crash/hang

I got my system a week ago and i have spent the last 4 days trying to install windows.
No matter what i do, it either crashes (BSOD or just restart)or hangs in the area where u press F8 to accept, or when u pick a partition (just within those 10 secs)
I have tried putting up volt (as high as possible without going red), setting Cache latency from 2.0 to 2.5 and 3.0.
I only use IDE harddrives, and i have tried 3 different. WD 100gb, WD 250gb and excelstor 40gb mostly when testing for now. Tried setting them as master, slave, cable select, alone and together with dvdrom.
I have tested with memtest86 for an hour (3 full tests) and i got 0 errors.
I really have no idea what to do now, any suggestions? 

Same thing happened here.
MSI K8N SLI-F
AMD Athlon X2 3800+
2GB RAM
MSI 6600GT
Maxtor 300GB SATAII
I installed Windows XP Pro 32-bit and it worked, but when I rebooted, it would take 10-15 minutes to boot up!!!!!! So I updated the BIOS from 1.2 to 1.3 and now it doesn't boot at all, just hangs.
Tried reinstalling Windows and now it won't even do that!!! Hangs on "Starting Windows..." at the blue install screen after loading all the drivers - this sucks!! 
Though it had something to do with my SATAII HDD since they reportedly have issues with nForce4 chipset but I have a very recent model with latest firmware which does not have that problem anymore. Even tried a non-SATA HDD, a Maxtor 30GB PATA drive and still same scenario.
Tested RAM with Memtest86+ and no problems there. Reset CMOS and loaded default values, never overclocked, checked POST with card and all fine there, BIOS shows all PSU values in range etc.
I have built many systems, this is the first tme I'm getting this. Man, I bought all quality components to avoid this trouble - specifically bought MSI due to rep. If this don't fix soon...

  • Pre10 crashes, hangs, and "Error compiling movie. Unknown error."

    I'm using Premiere Elements 10.0 and an am having a lot of trouble.  On a simple project (just half a dozen video clips with audio and some DVD menu stuff) I din't have much trouble. However my bigger project (which is the reason I bought PRE10) isn't working well at all.  My pc specs are at the bottom of the post.
    Issue 1.  about a third of the time, when starting PRE10, the opening welcome screen comes up, I hit 'Open Project', it start to load, then gets an error.  With this error I also get an entry in windows event viewer, application log of:  Faulting application adobe premiere elements.exe, version 10.0.0.0, faulting module gdiplus.dll, version 5.2.6002.22509, fault address 0x0000f47d. 
    If I get past that bug, the PRE sometimes just freezes up (a couple times with the audio track still playing, but otherwise frozen).
    After many frustrating hours, I think I'm close to having my project complete, and now PRE won't render and create a file.  I've tried just a short snippet, or the entire thing - either way it renders for a while (just a few minutes), then gives the subject line error message - "Unknown error" isn't very helpful!   Once, after getting this error an I let it sit there a whle, it then gave the same gdipluss.dll fault that I typically see on startup.
    I'd love to have all of these issues solved, but I most important thing is being about to get some sort of output!  I've tried a variety of output format, all do the same thing (mpeg2, avchd, dvd, hdtv, etc.)
    Thanks
    Charles
    Details:
    - video format is AVCHD (m2ts) coming from a Panasonic HDC-TM90.
    - mostly a single video track with audio, sometimes a second video track layered on top
    - narration track in .wav format
    - soundtrack in .wav format
    - roughly 30 minutes long
    - video files are coming off of the external usb 500GB drive
    - I've played with setting the rendering location to the mostly empty E: drive or the mostly full C: drive - no difference
    - I see from other posts about crashes that a key question is what is the project format set to.  How do I tell??  I chose that a month back (been working on this off and on for a while...) and I don't remember, and don't see how to check the current settings.

    For the Project Settings, choose Edit>Project Settings, and you can see them all, with the General Tab (most important), Capture (should not affect your Project), Video Rendering (again, should not have much info for you now), and Default Timeline (defines how the Timeline is set up initially, and not of any real use here).
    Now, and with the Source Files and Project on your E:\, or your external HDD, how much free-space is on your C:\. That can be very important, especially as with only 2GB RAM, you WILL be using your Windows Page File (Virtual Memory) often, and heavily.
    Now, though this is covered in one of the links in the PrE Crashing & Hanging article (Memory & Resources), how is your Page File managed, and is it located on your C:\?
    Also, is your Project file (the PREL) located with the Source Files, on either E:\, or your external HDD? I know that you have tried several locations. Also, where are your Scratch Disks (Edit>Preferences) set to? Those can be very large, and if one has them pointed to a nearly full HDD, can crash things.
    Last, at least for now, is your F:\ your external HDD? If so, it is formatted FAT-32, and that limits file sizes to ~ 4GB. This ARTICLE will tell you how to Convert a FAT-32 HDD to NTSF.
    Good luck,

  • One user's created PDFs have started to crash/hang Preview and PDFPen

    All the PDFs scanned in and sent to me by a particular user crash or hang Preview and PDFPen – but not Acrobat which opens them just fine. The odd thing is that this user's PDFs did not have such an effect on the apps until I did a Software Update (don't know what got updated but some Java libs were updated). The other odd thing is that no other PDFs except those scanned in by this one user, including those that used to open before, crash/hang the apps. And the third odd thing is that they crash/hang Preview and PDFPen but not Acrobat. (Do Preview and PDFPen share some common libs but not Acrobat?)
    I would attach one such PDF for PDF techies to see what the problem may be but Apple Discussions doesn't allow file attachments as far as I can see. Therefore I've appended below the beginning of one such PDF file if it helps.

    @BDAqua, Thank you for checking and for your reply. I'm using Preview 3.0.9 (409) on 10.4.11. Did you cover that?
    What do you mean by 'here'? I'm not a regular here (I mean the forum) so do you by any chance mean Infinite Loop? If so, maybe you could tell me what/which lib I can look at or into? Interesting to know that PDFPen indeed uses the system's PDF libs but Acrobat doesn't.
    There's definitely something different about the referred-to PDF and all other PDFs created by this user (which are scanned in on some Xerox scanner) and I'd love to know what it is.
    Thanks.

  • Solaris 10 05/09 CD Install - CD1 Hangs on HP DL380

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Solaris 10 05/09 from CD's onto HP Proliant DL380 servers. The install process hangs everytime after it has displayed the three lines...
    SunOS 5.10 etc.
    Copyright etc.
    Use is subject to license terms.
    It DOES NOT display the following line (i.e. the normal next step)
    Configuring devices.
    And of course, therefore it does not display the first install menu.
    I waited for 8 hours on one occassion to see if it was being held up by somethig but if it is then there is no indication of a specific problem or error and it does not appear to have a timeout period.
    The same CD boots and completes perfectly well on other machines of a different type (an IBM laptop and a desktop PC).
    I have tried two diferent HP DL380 machines and it is exactly the same on both. The HP DL380's are fully functional using other OS's.
    Any help / suggestions greatly apreciated.
    Regards,
    Richard

    Solved the problem. I changed every piece of hardware i could remove. Last but not least, it was a problem with the 2 GB RAM Modules. I don't really know what exactly.
    Funny that it works with Linux (memtest still running), but solaris fails to boot.

  • Mountain lion install crashes-corrupted download

    Twice now, after lengthy downloads to my 27" IMac running 10.6.8. the mountain lion install crashed in the early stages with the same error message that the download is corrupted. please delete the install package from the application folder and repeat the download. After the second try, I decided to try downloading Lion which I purchased early this year but never downloaded.
    Any suggestions?

    The installation could not be completed because errors were found on your drive. Boot up again while holding down the option key and the select Recovery partition. From there, open Disk Utility and first verify and then, if needed, repair the disk "Macintosh HD". If your drive is 'fixable' this will repair any errors.

  • Portal install crashes when starting J2EE

    I am installing EP 6.0 on Solaris 9.0.  I have tried bith versions of the portal install.   What happens is when the installation gets to the point where it starts the J2EE, the install crashes.  The prerequisites are met becuse the analyzer checks out, and the machine has ample memory.  Has anyone seen this problem.
    Thanks

    Try to run the latest analyzer - note 739480.

  • Popup crashes (hangs up) when second popup closed

    Hi experts,
    I've got a weird behaviour...
    After opening and closing a second popup (P2) in a popup (P1) (e.g. P2 = F4-help for a field of P1), P1 crashes/hangs up. Even within standard component like SALV_WD_TABLE.
    Weird thing is, that this only occurs on the test-system, not on the development-system.
    Do you have any idea?
    Thanks all..

  • Firefox crashes (hangs) while printing pdf (or xps)

    Firefox crashes/hangs whenever I try to print pdf using Adobe Acrobat V9.5. I updated Acrobat to XI but the problem didn't go away. It crashes the same way when I try to print to xps as well.
    I have to force close the browser and I see Acrobat (or XPS) conversion dialog stuck somewhere at middle afterwards.
    I don't have problem printing to pdf from other applications including other browsers (Chrome and IE9). Uninstall/reinstall (complete removal including profile), reset, disabling all addons and extensions, none of these worked. Although the problem goes away when I use Firefox in safe mode. What could be the problem here? I tried disabling all addons and extensions without luck.
    I saw similar problem in another thread (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/994052?esab=a&as=aaq) which says it got solved after updating to V29. But I have this problem at office where I use ESR release channel currently at V24.6.
    Can anyone confirm that this is a Firefox bug and has been fixed in V29? If so I can wait until next month when ESR channel jumps to V31.
    PS: I use Windows 7.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestion or help.
    Peace

    Try toggling the status of hardware acceleration under Options → Advanced → General, then restart Firefox.
    * [[Advanced settings for accessibility, browsing, system defaults, network, updates, and encryption|Advanced settings for… hardware acceleration]]
    If there's no problem in Safe Mode, that suggests an issue with an add-on, a preference or a file in the profile, or hardware acceleration. Since you've already ruled out the other two, hardware acceleration is all that's left to try.

    For me, Firefox will simply not print to XPS, though Internet Explorer doesn't have any trouble. Others have reported hanging when text is pasted into the "Save As" dialog. I haven't seen any reports of crashes, though that may be specific to the older version of Firefox you're using.

  • BootCamp cannot detect custom WinXP install disc after entering key

    I have a friend who is attempting to install Windows XP through Boot Camp and I am helping him. We BTed a custom Windows XP Professional SP2 installation ISO and we burned it into a CD. It is perfectly bootable when run on a PC, and it would autorun and so on. It is also perfectly detectable on his new MacBook as a WinXP install disc. But when BootCamp attempts to look for the disc's existence, it fails.
    Now he got past every stage in BootCamp, from partition (32GB) to entering the license key. What could possibly be the problem? May I stress that although the disc is custom, it contains everything enough to have enabled me to reinstall my old PC and install a VMWare installation before.
    Thanks if anyone could help.

    Hi Thibault, 
    I too have problems with my skype crashing. I have done what you wrote in the post http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/How-to-report-a-crash-hang-or-any-other-issue/td-p/1449277 - except for one of the logging steps as I do not have the skype folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/Skype (I removed some files there which was a tip in another help post). I have attached the other documents. 
    I have a Macbook Pro (Version 10.6.8, Processor: 2.4. GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3), no external hardware interacting with skype. I don’t think that the crashing happened after an upgrade – rather all of a sudden or possibly after someone random tried to add me/call me, as it happens quite often.
    I have deleted skype and downloaded it again several times, and I have also done a ‘verify disc permissions’ and ‘repair disc permissions’. I have also checked that I have the latest quicktime and adobe. The skype I have is the latest version which is suitable for my laptop.
    There is not a problem with my account as it works on my cell phone and other computers. 
    I would really appreciate the help!!!! Thanks in advance!

  • Nokia Ovi suite instalation crashes

    hi, I have a same problem with the ovi suite.
    I can install everything but the Nokia Music software, i just bought a 5800 and I cant access nokia store or sync my music with the computer.
    I installed the software that came with the CD at first, then I unistalled everything and downloaded a newer version from nokia site, but the problem still remained. I even tried to install the sofware with compatibility of Windows XP SP2.
    The problem is: Nokia music (or Ovi ) called the wrog c++ library, after this error message the instalation crashes and nothing works. I have Vista Home Premiun 64Bit .
    If i plug the USB cable I can use nokia PC Suite and access my phone memory.
    However I cannot use the nokia store.
    Please help.

    Hi,
    My regular/initial reply to all of sort of this issues :
    Do have backup of your phone data & PC registries then
    Uninstall Nokia PC Suite, Nokia Connectivity cable driver, PC Connectivity solution, Nokia flashing cable driver(if any on your PC), Run PC Suite cleaner. Install latest Nokia PC Suite from europe.nokia.com/pcsuite, reboot your pc.  Once pc started, connect your phone with USB in different ports of your PC and check
    If you want to install OVI Suite, kindly do check in google, as last few days ovi suite's site was in maintance ....Make sure that your pc is away from all unwanted pc registries, then after installation of pc suite reboot and check.
