My OCZ whitebook just came in today, I ordered mine without any OS, but I received one wifi disk driver and I'm guessing a motherboard driver disk (blank).

When it starts up I get a "media test failure". Pressing delete on startup does not bring me up to BIOS either.

I have tried the blank disk it came with
A windows XP (http://forum.notebookreview.com/autolink.php?id=185&script=showthread&forumid=1057) disk
A vista (http://forum.notebookreview.com/autolink.php?id=183&script=showthread&forumid=1057) disk

edit: I got my windows xp to load up. When XP boots up (first time) I get a blue screen every time now.

Okay now the laptop will not even turn on now, start button simply flashes when pressed. The computer is plugged into the charger...

What hardware did you install in the machine?

Pressing "F2" will get you into bios. The blank CD is your Driver CD :)

It sounds like your Ram might be bad? Did you install the Ram yourself?

Well so far I have been able to install vista, XP bluescreens for some reason though.

Laptop is completely stock btw. The Driver CD I have is 64bit though?

The Driver CD is for both Vista 32 and Vista 64
