I am building a new box with the following components:
Gigabyte 7N400 Pro 2 Rev 2.0 Mobo
AMD Semperon Processor 3000+
Thermaltake CPU fan
1.5G Crucial DDR Ram
Maxtor 200G HD
2 Sony DVD/CD R/W Drives
ATI Radeon 9250 PCI Video Card
For the life of me, I can’t get WinXP Pro to load and run stable. I have used all of my limited means to try and trouble shoot this problem. Windows will start (sometimes) and if it does, it runs slow and “jerky”. I did update the BIOS to the latest one as listed on the Gigabyte website. I did download and attempted to install the latest drivers for the LAN, Audio, Chipset, etc. The problem with most of these as that when attempting to install the drivers for these, I would get the following, “..driver install failed. Permission denied.” I have Googled and tried to find any problems (major ones anyway) and did not see anything. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate your help. My thanks in advance for any and all help given!
