Take out as many components as possible, and install them later. Start with
the Audigy card.

For what its worth I only use Corsair DDR now that its reasonably
priced. I had a similar issue putting together an A8V Deluxe with a
FX-53 cpu. I was using Mushkin PC3200 and when I switched over to two
CMX512-3200C2 sticks from Corsair my problem disappeared and WinXP Pro
installed flawlessly. I also had to replace 2 GB's of Mushkin PC3200 in
the system I put together for my sister-in-law with those same sticks
from Corsair and the problems that system mysteriously developed with
booting, or failing to POST, vanished immediately. I am now a Corsair
convert after using Mushkin exclusively for years.

It was the hard drive. It is faulty. I tried a known working drive and
Windows XP SP2 installed w/o issue.

Thanks
