no os will install on my computer

garfull · 11-08-2001, 02:46 PM

I had Win XP running on my computer when I put in a new ddr ram and downloaded an email. Then my computer when all funky. XP died on my then i couldn't boot into it. I tried to reinstall XP but the setup would stall saying it can't conpy some files. So I tried to install Win 2000 and it gave me the same error. The only OS that worked was 98 but it also gave me the same error when I tried to upgrade to ME. 98 also died after about 20 mins saying I can't boot in because of a explorer error.

I have reformated and reformated each time I tried to install a new OS but my computer still wont work. Can anyone help me this is really making me mad. Most likely the computer has a virus but I don't understand why it won't go away with the formatting. I also removed the ddr ram and put them back in hoping that would wipe any resisual memory. Could a virus embed itself into my amd athlon cache or video ram or sound card , etc.. I'm so stuck. I even ran an norton antivirus right after installing 98 and updated the definitions, then did a scan and it found noting, and still my computer is dead.

Help needed..

Try reinstalling your old memory.

Maybe your new DDR ram is ng or incompatible with your system for somereason.
