I just ordered a gateway 200ARC laptop from an internet company w/o a operating system. Ive tryed several times to install windows XP pro, Windows XP home, and windows 2000 pro. When I try to install XP i get a blue error screen telling me that its dumping the physcical memory yadda yadda yadda. When i install 2000 pro it just errors and tells me i have to restart. Any sugestions, or is this a hardware problem that i should ship it back to the company. Thanks all!
-Seth edit: its a centrino 1.4ghz display model that aparently worked before it shipped, it was then formatted and sent to me. also i tried using different memory. no luck This post has been edited by Seth6Gen: Aug 18, 2005 - 9:13 PM |

90% of the time that error is a error in the ram stick or the memory on the video card. Centrinos are great, gateways are not so hot but not bad for the price. I suspect its your ram since its happening durring an install and basicaly no video memory is being used.
