only time I have had errors or issues installing xp have always been ram related

might be worth a try, maybe if 2 sticks just try 1, apprantly it can be really fussy when installing.

Could be your windows media? If you have another it's worth a try.

Is it after the first reboot during windows install? or has the install process completed, and then it freezes on final reboot? Is it always at the exact same point that it freezes?

Remove any non essential USB devices...same goes for any non essential cards in the machine.
