I had an older Socket A motherboard in my basement, My aunt needed a newer computer... I offered to build her a decent computer system for everyday computing for under $300. I had too order another Socket A processor (obvesiouly). The only one I could find was a Duron 1.8hhz Applebred. Only problem is that the motherboard sees it as an "unknown processor" but at the right frequency and such. Then I started to have some "blue screen" issues every time I would go to install windows. It would get too a certain point, then I would get a blue screen telling me a file that was causing the problem and quiting the install... the last line of the blue screen said something about a memory dump. Now, I know this memory is good because it was in my mom's computer for over a year, and I JUST pulled it and gave her new ram. I suspected that it had to do with the hard drive, so I swapped in another 40 gig I had laying around and windows installed flawlessly... So I figured hard drive problem. AS I was in windows I was SUPER multi tasking, running installs and file transfers like crazy. Then the blue screen pops up and the comptuer just restarts... Anybody have any idea what this might be? Im thinking a Bios update is in line... But I dont know if it will do anything.
