STOP: 0x0000007E when booting from XP CD

[attitude.ashwin]

I recently installed a new motherboard on another computer and am trying to do a clean installation of Windows XP. But when I boot the XP installation CD then I am getting the below error message:

*** STOP: 0x0000007E (OxCOOOOOO5,OxF853E0BF,0xF898A208,0xf8989F08)

*** PCI.SYS Address F853E0BF Base ATF8537000, Date Stamp 3b7d855c

The board that I bought was refurbished, so can it be a problem? Thanks for any information.

Thanks for the reply. I actually did the slipstream for Service Pack 2 and it worked for me very well.

It is always nice to hear that the problem is solved and also by figuring on your own ways.
