I get a blue screen of death directly after the win xp screen goes before it gets to the log in page. Ive tried changing to a new hard drive but i cant seem to do a new install. It goes through the start of an install, but when it gets to the point where i would expect it to ask me to create a partition or format it goes to BSOD i know the disc drive works and i have checked the ram by an elimination test. There isnt any other hardware attached like a graphics card or wireless card. I am stumped?
It is a dell machine with 2006 bios running xp sp3 os on the original drive. I would flash the bios if i could get the thing to boot but i cant get past the xp load screen using the old drive,and i cant install a new one so i dont know what to do. can anyone help?
