Just put together the system below and everytime I try to install XP64 it basically locks. Not sure whats going on here. Its not temp issues because i watched the temps in the bios and they are pretty low.

E6600 w/Zalman hsf (the copper led one that cuts u when u install it... damn thing)
BFG 680i mb
Corsair PC-6400 2GB 4-4-4-12 2.1v
BFG 8800GTX
Creative Labs Fata1ity Xtremegamer Pro
Thermaltake 850W psu
WD 150gb Raptor
Antec XtremeGamer tower case w/3 120mm fans and 1 200mm fan.

AS5 (small amount) was applied and i've tried 2 different cdrom drives thinking it was the cd rom. it doesn't freeze at the same place each time. The system just randomly locks. Any ideas?

Have you run memtest86 on your ram - if it has any errors that would do it. I had a this problem when installing windows on my current rig, ran memtest & the OCZ platinum ram was bad, returned it for a new set and memtest that one, no problems and installed no problem.
