Those errors as a whole do not sound good, and may be indicative of failing hardware

It would help if we could have the full and exact content of the Stop errors, but in the mean time:

Some general info on Stop error 0x00000024:

and the same for Stop error 0x00000050:

I am going to try a different video card. All the other hardware is new or was in perfect working order.

If I get another stop code I will include all of the info on the page.

You've mentioned 512Mb of RAM. Is that 2 x 256Mb modules? If so are they the same brand or different modules?

It's a single stick of 512Mb memory.

Last night, I tried two different video cards I get this stop code during the install.

stop code 0x00000050(0xF80CFBC4,0x00000000,0xF84F034F,0x00000000)
setupdd.sys-address F84F034F Base at F84A1000, Datestamp 3d6dd67f

I tried to install Win98SE also. It installed but crashed repeatedly.Completely unusable.

I suspect it's a faulty or incompatible RAM module. I'd try borrowing another from somewhere and seeing if it works with different RAM in it.

Reset CMOS and try again first though.

After reading the link provided, I came to that same conclusion.
So, I went to the manufactuers website, apparenttly this happens alot with mushkin memory.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Hopefully I can get replacement memory Post Haste.

I recieved my new replacement memory last night, Windows XP install without a hitch.

hardware manager stills shows my hard drive and my cdrom as scsi,
but everything works fine, so far.

Unless it starts causing problems, I am going to let sleepings dogs lie.

My hunch is still that the SCSI issue is RAID-related, but as you said, if it's working fine...
