I have just finnished building a new PC. it has all brand
new hardware. I checked and double checked to make
certain that all the hardware is compatible. I have the
windows XP Home Edition OEM SP1a version of the Operating
System. When I power up the PC, it goes through the post
porcess and prompts me to boot from CD. However, when I
insert the disc, the blue Windows Setup screen appears
stating that windows setup is installing files. it then
appears to do so, and then goes to the blue screen
stating that setup will now start windows. However, at
this point, I get another screen telling me that windows
is shutting down because there is a problem,and it is
stopping to prevent damaging my system components. this
message is followed by a series of suggestions about
checking my hardware and possible driver & bios updates.
Finally I receive an error message at the bottom of the
screen stating the following.
Stop: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF7C4E690,
0xF7CF9CD8,0xF7CF99D8)

SERENUM.SYS-ADDRESS F7C4E690 base at F7C4E000, dateSTAMP
3b7d8385

  Can anyone explain what this means, and how to fix it?
