So I bought a nice HP laptop for 500€,AMD Turion x2 2GHZ cpu,ATI Radeon HD3200 512mb GPU and 3 GB of ram.So I installed my copy of Windows 7 RC,copies normally but when it goes into Windows to configure final data it gives me an error 0x0000005 or something like that.I googled that it might be faulty ram.So I believe that I have one 2gb ram and one 1gb ram inside.How can I fix this?

It's not faulty RAM. 0x5 is INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT which means a diver has attempted to do something incredibly stupid (and since it's an action rather than data I don't think it would be very likely as a symptom of bad RAM).

Since (I assume) you haven't upgraded or anything, and that it's a clean install, the copy of Win7 is probably suspect. Get a newer or different copy of Win7... or just buy it and wait a few months, and stick with XP/VIsta in the meantime (It has just gone on pre-sale, which means you can get it extremely cheap as a pre-order)

Either that, or you're extremely unlucky, and you have a laptop which uses some obscure device with a bad default driver or something (But at least try XP or Vista first before you conclude the machine is faulty)

Yup,fixed it,was so easy but I only figured it out after hours of googling.Had to set from AHCI or whatever it was to IDE and worked smoothly.Now I gotta redownload Windows 7.
