Hello everyone, long time no see.

Just formatted and did a fresh install of WINDOWS XP on some old parts. N1996 Motherboard, GeForce2 MX/MX400, 320mb RAM and an unnamed processor.

Whenever I enter an application or folder it simply freezes. Neither mouse or keyboard reacts. Tried to install on another HDD same thing happens. I'm not sure if it's the Windows XP, my main computer is using the same Windows and was installed just recently but works perfect.

Thinking it might be a HARDWARE issue, processor, motherboard or video card.Run MemTest on that RAM...any errors at all and you have a bad stik of RAM.

You may want to consider adding some as well...RAM is cheap right now.MemTest? Googles it, screenshots gave me some bios-like stuff. The site didn't have much info on what to do with it.

Assuming from the screenshots I take it shouldn't be used directly in Windows, how do I use it exactly?
Correct me if I'm wrong and it actually can be launched in Windows. Correct...it RUNS outside of Windows.
Use the .iso ONE to create a bootable CD and it will run on bootup with the CD in.

Third one down...
