it is probably a case of one of your mix and match components is defective or incompaitable with your mobo. if you tell us your system spec's we might be able to assist you.

just lived it

had the same problem. try getting a clean hard drive, install it directly to the mother bord and use the CD as the master with your XP install disk. Run it and start to slowly add in your components and drivers and stuff. This will help you rule out any parts that may be damaged or incompatible.

Working with different Mobo

If you're installing a new motherboard you need to format or get a formatted drive. You'll need to reinstall your OS. Boot from your OS disk and install onto the formatted drive.

yes clean install from a wiped drive may fix
as stated may have bad ram (unsupported)
It does boot to bios reset to factory defaults

oh ya get the newest bios
