E8400 with Gigabyte G41M-ES2L Motherboard

I have an E8400 with Gigabyte G41M-ES2L Motherboard I have tried to load window xp (preferred OS) on it and I get a message that there is not enough memory and windows has stopped installation. I then tried to load Windows Vista Home Basic and it worked but then after only 2 - 5 days it would crash and come back up with Windows has encountered a serious error. Then after a day or 2 it would crash and not even come up in Safe Mode. I would then reload Vista and it would repeat the same process. What is wrong? I have downloaded all the Windows Updates.

 

Another fact is that I had an ECS G31T-M Motherboard and I replaced it with the above board because I thought the board may be bad. The old board would download the XP OS and then all of a sudden the same error described above started to come up when I tried to load XP OS. I have replaced the hard drive also. The only thing left is the Intel processor that I bought only in June 2008.

 

Please help!

Hi,

It is definately not your CPU.

What is your full system config? what memory do you have? what memory does it say you have in BIOS?

Also are you installing both XP and Vista from the sames CDs each time?
