Yes, it could be the memory modules. You should test using Memtest86.

have you turned the AHCI (advanced host controller interface, enable it to turn SATA NCQ on) off?

i tried using the memtest but crap giving me a hard time to make the disk. i think i got too many bad floppys since i just leave lying all over the place.

You can use the ISO version instead.

Adrian Wong · 12th Jan 2006, 02:45 PM

Yeah, just write to a CD.

andyem · 13th Jan 2006, 08:31 PM

Here is the correct solution: Move the cdrom and hard drive onto the ide slot(blue). DONT RUN THE INSTALL CD FROM ANY DEVICES on the EIDE slots (the red ones). Windows XP gave the same error when I was running the install cd from an eide slot. Once this is done then run the install from this cd and it works perfectly. this has nothing to do with your ram or anything else in your system. TRUST ME. I went through hours trying to get this to work. Then oince the install is done and you install the IDE driver from the asus cd then put the hard drives or cdroms any way you want and everything will work perfectly.

Now that being a temporary solution. I assume windows xp needs an eide driver loaded from a floppy during the install so we dont have to go through this crap again. I'm still working on the permanent solution. Let me know how it goes.

here is a little more info on xp not being able to install eide.

Here are the files on the asus cdrom: i cant decide if its the ite8211 or the sata drivers that we use. They have makedisk in the folders there to make you a floppy so we dont have to go through this again. I'll try to get to the bottom of this and give you an answer.

I had the same problem when installing xp with that mobo.

The solution is quite simple, you need a couple of floppy disks, the Asus cd that came with the board (or visit the P5LD2 Deluxe section in the downloads area of asus.com) anyways, run the cd on a working computer, go to make floppies and make the ones you need. Raid, Sata, etc.

Now boot from your xp disk and press F6 where it asks if you need third party SCSI or raid drivers, now put the first floppy in, copy the files, and do the same for the rest. Keep the floppies handy because it will ask for them again during the install.

And you should be good to go. As soon as i got that figured out it was a breeze (with any version of xp)

Now if I could just figure out a way of running Mac OSx86 on this board...

that was simply because u had the AHCI turned on.

just disable it and the installation will be run just fine.
AHCI (NCQ) doesn't help much (in fact, it worsen the performance) in single user mode.

hi man

what you have to is go and disable your antivirus in your bios and that would do the thing
