    When im trying to install windows, I get alot of errors saying that im missing files. For example im missing msi.dll times.ttf jet500.dll. I just installed a new motherboard and CPU. Any ideas on why this is happening?

    I got loads of problems like that because my RAM was part fried.

    Also are you using original disks ? :worried: CDR copies sometimes cause these problems.

    Actually, I've tried it with 2 different and distinct copies of WinXP, one real one, and one with SP1 slipstream.

    OOH!

    I believe that it's fixed now, I swapped CD drives and it seems to be working properly. 23% so far and it's working. I'l keep you posted as the install goes on.

    Oh yes, I forgot to mention that when I used a newer drive on one of the computers the problem didnt seem to occur.:blush:

    sounds like a b0rk3d PSU to me ... or fried ram ...

    my ex-roomates box blew a psu,it fried a stick of ram, and a ecs k7s5a(rev3) ... left the 1.2 tbird working just fine ... the cpu is in my fiancees box now working like a charm.
