I am trying to install Windows XP.
I format the partition as NTFS then the windows install begins.

At 29% the way through the install gives me a Blue Screen of Death.

Each time the screen has been different. So far i have had, BAD_POOL_HEADER, DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and MEMORY_MANAGEMENT.

In one case it just got to 38% and just stopped, no errors, it just totally stopped, and i had to restart after leaving it for several minutes.

I cant really do anything since i cant finish installing windows.

My system is down to

e4500 2.2 ghz core 2 duo
abit IP35 Pro mobo
nvidia 8800 GT 512mb
1x1gb OCZ ram
1x sata 300gb seagate HDD
520watt corsair HX520w psu
LiteOn DVD drive

I hav removed everything else.

Any ideas why windows is having such problems installing?
