I disabled the warnings. I have 2X2 Gigs Corsair XMS DDR3 1333MHz sticks. I have Western Digital SATA 2 160 Gb and and LG Sata DVD writer. I get 4 short beeps then 1 long continuous beeps

OK have you tested your RAM is OK using MemTest? You can download it from here: http://www.memtest86.com/download.html and I would advise you to check that the RAM is working OK before trying to install your OS.

Hey problem solved with the beeps!!! I disabled CPU Fan Fail warning and Temp Warning. What I don't get is why it beeps when My Fan clearly hasn't failed??hahaha

The reason for that is the CoolNQuiet feature. The fan will sometimes slow down too much or stop altogether if the CPU isn't getting that hot and that triggers the alarm.

Oh okay.By the way the installation of XP is going damn slow in spite of 4GB DDR3 RAM. Is this because its running on IDE mode??

My friend with a 2GB gets a faster windows XP installation than me!!!

not sure, it should be pretty quick.

Have you tried with just 2 gig installed? You could have a faulty RAM module

I tried to install the X86 inf file by updating the Primary IDE controller through device manager but it says " the specified location does not contain information about your hardware". now what do i do??

Okay Windows and all is done.I am now thinking of ignoring installing AHCI driver. Is there a huge diff in running it in IDE?

absic · « **Reply #24 on:** February 17, 2011, 04:50:18 pm »

There's not a huge difference in speed and the only real advantage with running AHCI Mode is the Hot-Swap ability.

Hey Thanks a lot for your help. Really appreciate it. Hot swap is kinda important to me since I have another 1 TB HDD. Will try installing the AHCI driver. Any idea on why I am getting an error?

Well, as I said previously, you could have a faulty RAM Module which could cause some of your problems.

Before going too much further it would really be a good idea to run Memtest, just to check things out.

I tried to install the X86 inf file by updating the Primary IDE controller through device manager but it says " the specified location does not contain information about your hardware". The RAM is working fine though will still do the test

As the moderator said it is worth running the latest Memtest program to make sure that you haven't got a buggy module. Even though it takes time to do properly it has found a lot of problems in the past.
