rebuilt pc - trying to upgrade to Windows XP
Posted: Tue Nov 11, 2003 3:31 pmHello all,
I don't know whether this is a windows 98 question, or hardware, or window xp, but here goes: we bought this pc 3 years or so ago, it is a gateway with amd 700 processor. The OS is windows 98.
I recently bought a new athlon processor, a 1800 I think, along with an ECS motherboard (mistake, but too late now), along with an antec atx case, from Fry's electronics. I also got a new sony cd rw, a video card and windows xp upgrade.
I installed the board, cpu, cd, and video card into the case. It works.
Now I am trying to install windows xp. However, I keep getting these error msgs, one is : 5A3FF58h, another is 637FF58h.
Anyone have an idea what those error messages mean, and what might be the problem with my system?
