    Here are the specs on this machine

    AMD XP2200+ chip
    MSI KT880 Mobo
    Kingston DDR 400 512mb
    WD HD 120GB
    GeForce 6600GT Video Card
    550 Power Supply

    I have been attempting to install windows on this machine. It is at the
    initial Windows setup blue screen. At the bottom of the screen you can see
    all the devcices and files that it is setting up (keep in mind this is b4 you
    even begin to format the HD). It gets right at the end of loading/setting up
    the drivers, and this is the last command it states: SETUP IS LOADING WINDOWS
    NT FILE SYSTEM (NTFS). The system just restarts right at that point. I have
    switched memory, and HD's and it does the same. Has anybody seen this b4?
    Please give a hand cause I am going nuts now.

    I'd recommend updating your BIOS to the last version available.

    Since the board has three memory slots, try each slot one at a time. Also, to eliminate the possibility of it being the memory stick or memory slot, run MemTest86 with the memory stick in each slot.

    Will that work (memtest86) without any operating system? And where can I grab it from.

    It's not the power supply. I have switched those out.
