Hmmm sounds like a boot loop.
Can you get to the Advance Boot Menu and click on Last Known Good Configuration That Worked?
If that doesn't do it then try Safe Mode
If that doesn't work do you have a Genuine Xp disk? We can try to run chkdsk /r from the Recovery Console

no it was a random freeze,i dont know why i rather figure out what the [bleep] is wrong with my corsair ram,

[rshaffer61]

The 2 gig almost seems like a bad stick of memory.
It happens and there is no way to know unless the system will boot with it in.
Then you could run the memtest program on it and make sure.

I need to get to sleep, it is 10:20 here and I have been at this for 16 hours today. I will look everyhting over again tomorrow morning and see if I missed something tonight.
Hang in there and hopefully we can egt this straightened out.

i tried memtest 3 times and it wouldnt start scan just like half the screan would pop up, so that means i need to send back 20$ shipping and pay for it back to me another 20$?

[dylan123]

I dont know if this matters but when i take the ram out its hot? is that normal?

[rshaffer61]

A little warm is normal but hot is not.
If it burns your fingers then that is not good.

[dylan123]

ok i guess it would be warm then cuz i can hold it:P

I think you have just gotten a faulty stick of memory. You should be able to get a RMA on the memory and a replacement for it. I don't know where you purchased it but most of the time the company will send you a rma sticker to affix to the package. This will save you the money of returning it.
If you bought it from NewEgg or Tigerdirect then contact them and they are really good about taking care of their customers.

[dylan123]

It was newegg

[dylan123]

How how beautiful i found out i half to pay half shipping witch one way is 11$ so i do half to pay shipping and will prob get another faulty one

[rshaffer61]

Did you ask them about the compatibility of the memory with your system?
I don't see how it would be a issue as crucial says it is the right type for your system. The only logical explanation is that the memory is faulty.

[dylan123]

Yes, and its compatible ..
