Subject: [PCBUILD] Failure pattern


I was given a no name computer, 1 GHz Duron, 256M RAM running XP Home. There 
are no expansion cards installed. System and CPU fans are running.
 It would lock up at about the same point loading Win XP, would not go into 
setup, would fail at the same point in safe mode every time.  I changed 
memory with no improvement.  So I decided to load a fresh copy of Win XP 
Home.  It locks up at about the same point each time while installing files 
during installation.
So where is the problem?

sounds like a HD problem  try a clean install with no partitions
as it was previously working some history may help
