I am trying to install windows 8 on my PC (it has all the minimum requirements) When I insert the CD, it starts to boot normally from it, but then i get an error:
Your PC needs to restart. Please hold down the power button.
Error Code: 0x0000005D
Parameters:
0x030F0401
0x756E6547
0x49656E69
0x6C65746E
I have tried to restart the computer but I get that error again. I hope that someone can help me.
The message tell that CPU doesn't support the required CPU features like SSE2, PAE and NX-Bit.
May be this can help you:-
Unlike Windows Vista and 7, Windows 8 (as from build 8400) is not compatible with all models of the Pentium 4 processor.
This is due to the fact that Windows 8 requires a processor compatible with the following functions: SSE2, PAE and NX bit. All Pentium 4 are compatible with SSE2 and EAP: the problem may come from the NX bit.
First, make sure your Pentium 4 model supports the NX bit: for sockets 423 or 478 processors, then it won't work (in most cases).
For sockets 775 processors, it can be compatible. If the CPU supports NX-bit, you can install Windows 8 32-bit or 64-bit (it depends on the models!).
Also make sure that NX bit is not disabled in the BIOS (if present).
