I have recently got my old Dell back from my mother's office. It's a Dell Dimension 4500s. Windows XP Home wouldn't install right after 20+ tries. I decided windows 2000 may be better. I am able to use it with compatability mode on the cpu turned on. I need to be able to play music on this pc and thats it, but i keep getting the following stop command:

 

STOP: 0x0000001E (0xC0000005, 0xED3F8930< 0x00000001, 0x0000001D)

KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

Address ED3F8930 base at ED3F8000, DataStamp 3e25ba56 - HIDCLASS.SYS

 

Please, I would really like to get this pc working right.

I don't think many people on this forum know lots about windows versions that old. try to install a lightweight Linux distro or something if that ancient PC can handle it.

Well, I would like to put a linux distro designed for audio fidelity. But, PLOP boot cd won't work with the drive and I don't have a spare. And, I always wanted to try out windows 2000. This pc is gonna get Windows ME if it keeps giving me hell; properly punish this cursed system.

I only have access to 2 ddr ram sticks; a 256mb and a 512mb, both have issues. I have reason to believe it is a faulty cpu, as it will boot with compatability mode instead of normal mode. My gf's father is a computer technition and just had a pentium 4 system die on him, and I'm gonna try to get the cpu and ram. I also have a cd-rw with plop, different to the one i have that should work.
 Wish me luck.

Please spend as much time writing your question, as you want me to spend responding to it.  Take some time, and explain your issue, please!
