Hello guys, I have a problem with a friends comp and I can't figure it out.
System Spec's

Corsair VS512MB667D2 512MB DDR2-667 PC2-5300 Value Select Memory Retail

Asus P5ND2-SLI nForce4 SLI Intel Edition P4/Pentium D/Celeron 1066FSB LGA775 DDR2 ATX Motherboard w/Audio, Gigabit LAN, RAID/Serial ATA Retail

Intel Pentium® D Processor 805 2.66GHz, 533MHz FSB, Socket 775, 2MB Cache, Dual Core Retail

Sapphire Radeon X1600 PRO PCI Express 256MB DDR2 Video Card w/TV-Out, DVI & VGA Retail

Logisys CS51WSL Case-51W Mid Tower Case w/Window (Silver) Retail

The problem is i couldn't install windows without getting a bluescreen so i came down to my house and installed windows went back up and plugged the HD in and it loads up to windows screen blinks then instant blue screen,partly my fault i forgot to put thermal paste on the cpu,(but i'm putting that on on Monday)to see if that fixes the problem.But any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you figured the problem out on your own. You should've posted this problem if, after applying the thermal paste, the BSOD persisted.

Heh... Athlon XPs did not have a thermal shutdown system, and would burn out with the heatsink removed, however with no thermal paste but heatsink in place, they would just run hot and unstable, I had a friend running an Athlon XP 1900+ like this (the old 180nm Palomino model, top of the line in December 2001) for a very long time.

Athlon 64s on the other hand will shutdown just like a Pentium 4. Your info is about 3 years out of date.

I thought that Intel's retail HSF came with paste pre-installed?
