Default Virtual Memory Problems


I think that I'm having problems with virtual memory, but am unaware
how to resolve it. I'm running a 2500+ processor, 512mb ram and am
trying to install Windows XP on a new 160gb hard drive but everytime I
try I get a physical memory dump. The motherboard is also new, so I'm
wondering if it's a problem with virtual memory.

If this is the case...

a) How can I check virtual memory without an o/s installed (I can exit
to dos from the windows installation application)?
b) How can I change the virtual memory without an o/s installed?

If this isn't the case, then does anyone have any ideas why I
repeatedly get a physical memory dump?

Thanks in advance,

Killer Klowns

Default Re: Virtual Memory Problems

Virtual memory only exists after windows/linux is installed.
Post the error message and perhaps someone can help you.
