I'm trying to load XP onto an older HP Pavillion running a 500MHz Celeron processor. When it gets to the format portion I get a BSOD telling me that I need to reconfigure my hardware and/or software configuration in Setup.
When I go into setup and reset it to Default and re run it I get the same message. I've replace virtually everything from the hard drive, memory cd-rom drive and the IDE cables. I've even considered the integrated graphics chipset so I used an old PCI graphics card and nothing.
This machine was originally running Win98 but encountered a virus. Despite the virus the systems booted up normally and functioned okay however when I installed AVG and ran it, it took out the virus but on boot up I got a Winsock32 error and the system wouldn't boot to the desktop anymore.
Upon loading XP I began encountering this BSOD error and I'm completely stumped. I'm thinking it's the BIOS. I've cleared the CMOS settings and tried resetting to the defaults but to no avail.
In despiration I loaded up a Linux disk and it failed to load. Am I having mobo problems? I can't figure this one out...help
Thanks,
Craig
