Please help. BSOD on initial OS install

[ScottKC]

I just got my parts for my new system today and just finishing building it. i'm trying to install windows xp pro sp2 and i get a BSOD after the first reboot. does anyone have suggestions on what could be wrong? the bios is correctly detecting everything and nothing appears to be running hot.

there are my parts:

Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM

i took out one of my memory sticks and it's installing now. when it reboots next i'll make sure the voltages are high enough on the memory and try putting the chip back in. it'll suck if i have have to return the memory, but at least i'll know what the problem is.

so either memory chip will work if it's by itself. if i put in both chips, regardless of configuration, it won't work. it crashes and restarts as soon as it is about to load up windows. i guess this is a motherboard issue? this is driving me crazy.
