the
www.memtest.com place only tests pc100 rams, I use ddr Also I can find the software that would test the rams for free there.
Well I kinda fixed the problem for like about 30 mins, I realized I had two sound devices installed but one on-board and another is audigy sound card I removed audigy and windows xp pro booted 5 times in normal without any problems.... but when I shut it off for like 5 min and turned it back on it got stuck at that screen again and it will only boot in safe mode... I don't have much devices installed it's just video card in the agp slot and a ethernet card in one of the pci slots. I don't see anything else that could be causing driver problems. open to anymore suggestions and ideas.
