I just rebuilt my desktop computer, installing a new ASUS P7P55D
motherboard with an Intel Core i7 processor and two Corsair XMS3 DDR3
2GB memory modules. It seems to be in working order in the preliminary
start-up.

I then tried to reinstall Windows XP Pro. This went well until the
Windows setup screen was to the point where it should have begun
letting me make selections. Instead it stalled out and the following
message, along with a lot of general information was shown;

Technical Information:

Stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF748E0BF, OxF78DA208, Ox78D9F08)

pci.sys - Address F748E0BF base at F7487000, Date Stamp 3B7d855c


The system hangs at this point and my only option is to re-boot, but I
can not figure out what is causing this problem. Any suggestions?

Thanks, Gordon

There is a suggestion here, to slipstream the WinXP installer CD, to
at least SP2. Now, whether that is actually necessary or not, I
can't tell you. It could be that SP1 is enough. I don't know
what is special about SP2, to make that work better. The
pci.sys could be a reference to a PCI Express bridge driver,
and that is about all that is consistent with the cause being
the PCI Express video card. So you can try this if you like.
(Or, you could install a PCI video card, and try to complete
the installation with that first.)

The theory is confirmed here.

You can use NLite from nliteos.com, to slipstream in a Service Pack.
You offer your original WinXP CD, add to that the download of
a redistributable Service Pack, and the output is an ISO9660 file.
Take that file into a burning program like Nero, and burn a new
bootable WinXP install CD.

The Service Packs are downloadable as separate files. These are
examples of the files I have downloaded here, for SP2 and SP3.
Which one to use, depends on how old your WinXP CD is.

WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe
WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe
