Upgrading HP Pavilion 6835

telecomops101

I am working on refurbishing an HP Pavilion 6835 desktop PC. I wipped the hard drive and am having an issue loading the new OS.

Before wipping the HD, I upgraded the memory from the standard 128mb to the maximum allowed 512mb. After wipping the HD I procceded to load the OS. What I am about to mentioned happened with a version of Windows 2000 and XP.

I booted from the CD and the process started normally with all files being loaded. The next step where the system states it will load Windows, is where eveything got hung up. It wouldn't get passed that point, It just stayed in the position of prompting me that the system is loading Windows. I actually let the system run overnight and in the morning it was still in the same position. Any advice on what to do??? Thanks

Standard Memory 128 MB (removable)
Maximum Memory 512MB
Memory Expansion 2 sockets
Memory Comments PC100 SDRAM DIMMs
CPU Type 800MHz Intel Celeron
Model Comments 100MHz FSB, Intel 810 Chipset

First thing I would do is put the original memory back in and see what happens.
