Unable to install WINDOWS XP 0x0000007E error

[Jeema6]

Can some knowledgeable, experienced soul have pity, and help this damsel in distress??? I have been submitting my dilemma for 2 weeks now and I am stuck! I have a new build and when I have tried installing win xp pro sp2, it installs the files and says...starting windows...I get the horrid blue screen with an error msg:

A problem has been detected...... 0x0000007E, I have to refer to my hard copy of the complete 'code' but this is what I get and I have triple checked hard drives, pcie cards, mice, keyboards, memory and a gigabyte mb that wassent after getting a DOA.

I even resorted to Best Buy robots and they were so not helpful. They seem mad if you know maybe a lil about computers. They also wanna charge $100+ just to nose around on you hdd.

I have been searching forums, websites, and friends....help.

Thanks,

Jeema6

I can barely read your post with that good awful font, color and size but I did read the title and googled up this for you: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330182

Please edit your post and apply normal text to it and you may get more responses.

I don't know if you have a non intel CPU or not.

Ironically Comic Sans is supposed to be one of the easiest to read fonts for people with learning difficulties and just in general. I wouldn't call it godawful but it isn't exactly pleasant either.

Here's an article from Microsoft relating to your STOP error. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330182
