Internal CPU Cache Conflict

I recently bought a new Computer with an AMD Athlon 2000 processor and no operating
system. When I tried to load Windows XP Home I got an stop error and said IRQ_NOT_EQUAL
and to try again. The second time it said to disable the CPU cache or video shadowing
or try a new video adapter. When I disabled the CPU Internal Cache, the stop error
went away but it subsequently took 3 DAYS to load it on the computer. When it finally
finished, i tried to boot it up from scratch and it took an hour just to load windows.
I tried it again with the CPU INternal Cache enabled and it just crashed when it
got to windows, but it at least got there very quickly. What should I do, my warranties
to return these are going to run out.

Loading XP should be easy painless operation. If you
have not added any additional hardware to the PC ,
that may cause problem, I would return it for exchange
or refund.

I don't know if this will help or confuse, but there should be a setting in the BIOS
for the Cache Type. If you're not comfortable with getting into the belly of the
beast, you may have a technically oriented friend who can check the BIOS settings
for you. As others have pointed out, the error message you're getting usually is
associated with a memory problem... Cache is memory, although it's part of the CPU.

I guess my real question is, is this a legitiamate issue to return either the computer
or the software. I believe at this point the computer is defective. If I can return
it for a refund, should I waste my time troubleshooting?

Yah, I'd return it. They may try to fix it or replace it, but see if they'll install
XP for you, if that's what the choice is... just to make sure it works.
