new system BSOD when installing XP

[EnderW]

OK, I threw together a new system several months ago and just now got to hooking it up. I started installing XP and got a BSOD pretty quick. I've been running Memtest for about 2.5 hours, no errors so far. No overclocking so far. Any ideas?

Specs:
Asus P4C800
Intel 2.4C w/ Zalman 7000
Geil PC4000 2 x 512
Antec True Power 380
Nvidia 5200
WD800JB
Samsung SM352B

Maybe try a different HDD. Just to see if the drive is messed up.

hard drive is from a machine that has been running fine for about a year

Just in case... download the diagnostics utility from your hard drive manufacturers site, boot up your pc with it on cd and run it. Just to double check.

At what point did you get a BSOD?


Usually it'll be the ram that causes an XP install to fuck up, but yo say you've tested that. Need more info on the crash...
