Hi all,

i had built my own comp and been running on windows xp for the last few months, i been having problems with it due to the HD as its a sucky one i bought without realizing that its sucky. anyway just a few days back my computer crashed and i tried to reformat and reinstall windows xp but to no avail. everytime when it has finished copying files to the intended HD and the computer reboots and windows is starting up to continue installing the computer crashed again and this is the msg i get. can anyone help me with it? i would greatly appreaciate any help. pls bear in mind i am not totally an IT person, but good enough to build my own computer.

this is the msg i get on my screen:

a problem has been detected and windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

the problem seems to be caused by the following file: frame buf.

if this is the 1st time you've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. if this screen appears again follow these steps:

the device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. this usually indicates problems with the device itself or with the device driver programming the hardware incorrectly.

pls check with your hardware device vendor for any driver updates

technical information:
stop:0x000000EA (0x81A34C30, 0x81B84248, 0x81BDB200, 0x00000001)

framebuf.
beginning dump of physical memory.
physical memory dump complete
contact your system administrator or technical support group for further assistance.


So this is the problem i am having, can anyone advice and guide me step by step on how i can reactify this problem?



Much stressed out,
