I had just built my computer tpday. Everything looked nice...great case with the sweet lights and everything. I turned it on with my new flat pannel monitor and it looked great. I then started to install windows xp. I went to the setup process...but then right after it loads a bunch of files (where itr says setup is starting windows) it cuts out and gives me the blue screen of unmountabke bot volume. So this happens bfore I cna get to the point of repairing it the do the chkdisk...I have searched all over the internet all night and found no one with this problem. I have tried a cheap hard drive i ahve on ahnd and still the same thing happended. I have no idea what to do and i need this to work fast. I have built 4 computers and have never had thsi rpoblerm. Please help!

    What kind of motherboard?

    Check to make sure your RAM is getting the required voltage. I know I just got a DFI LanParty Ultra-D and it defaults to 2.6 VDIMM. I've got decent memory (which states 2.8V at 2-3-3-8), so it was happy with that. But, some memory needs the voltage at which it is rated. That has been the cause of BSOD's for me in the past.
