I've been trying to install Windows XP Pro for a couple of days now but keep getting a blue screen come up with the message "Hardware Malfunction. Call your vendor for support. The system has halted". It tends to come up during the installation process. Also, I did manage to complete the install once but the same message came up after about 15 minutes. I'm pretty sure my hardware is fine as it is all fairly new and is working fine under Windows Me which I had to reinstall. I ran scandisk on my C drive which came up with nothing. I took everything out of my PC for the installation except the bare minimum but still no luck.
So, I though I would try one last thing and that's check with you guys before I take it back to PC World, to see if anyone can shed some light on this problem.
Cheers.
