esb_1955 0 Posted February 17, 2005 This might be a primitive question but since PC here in our country is expensive I can only afford PIII 866 PC Compatible. Here is the complete specs: - PIII 866 Mhz - Asus MB cuv4x-c (I don't know the chipset) - Geforce 2 MX400 64MB AGP - 128MB x 2 (256) SDRAM DIMM - Creative sound card - D-Link Fast 10/100 Ethernet Card - Windows 2000 Pro edition service pack 4 This is my problem, I was upgrading my OS from 2k to XP and at the start seems all ok. I choose the new OS to be a clean installation so it erased my old files which I happende to have backed-up. It went smoothly until it reached the stage before the "final installation" and it has loaded almost 82% when it suddenly shutdown the PC. It says: Shutdown Fatal Hardware Error Disable Caching and shadowing If this is the first time this warning occured, pls restart and re-install. If still this warning occurs please call or contact the manufacturer. I even tried this for the nth time still the same problem. So what I did was to reinstall my 2k OS and it worked smoothly without problems. I happened to have bought a second hand Dell OPTIMA with the same specs except for the mother board which is Intel _ _ _ _. It has no OS so I installed right away the XP, to my surprice it worked in one installation. CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE GIVE AN ANSWER PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE!!!!!!!!!
