So, /comp/, I have the infamous XP hang at "setup is starting Windows" during install. I just RMA'd the board for an EPox EP-M570SLI, AMD 64 X2 4200+ 65W, 2 gig Corsair DDR2800, Thermaltake 700W Toughpower, Seagate SATA 250 gig, Foxconn 7950GT, XP x64 Pro. Put the latest nForce RAID drivers on a USB floppy, turned off everything unnecessary, the RAM is on pass 3 of Memtest 86+ right now with no errors, the board shipped with the latest version of the BIOS, and XP install still hangs. If I don't load the RAID drivers, I get a BSOD instead of a hang, and Googling the stop code does nothing. Should I RMA the CPU? Anything else I can do?
