Windows XP

Hi There
I have just bought a pc secondhand with the above specs. The computer itself runs but when i run programs like games, or even do a virus scan (AVG) it crashes and comes up with an error message or restarts/does nothing.
The pc has got a load of rubbish uneccessary programs on it that i have uninstalled (some cannot be uninstalled due to files missing).
I have tried the obvious task of re - installing Windows XP but it crashes when i get to the "press enter to install windows XP" part. Sometimes either displaying an error message or restarting.
I have also tried installing Windows 98, this also crashes either half way through or when the final stages are being completed i.e time zone, control panel, etc.
I have tried using my other hard drive that has been working perfectly but the same happens.
I have also tried using the onboard graphics for the installation but the same thing happens.
If anyone can help with this problem i would DEFINITELY appreciate it.
Thanks
