Weird "DOS" popup instead of XP loading screen

[proto_prime]

I just Installed windows XP on the computer (specs below).. it went smoothly but.. I was installed the Asus motherboard driver package, and after it restarted after the first driver was installed (I had chosen the InstALL, which installs all drivers automatically but requires reboots after certain ones are installed), I don't get the Windows XP load screen.. instead, I get this error:
'''''

I tried typing that last line in but got an error.

Don't install junk you don't need
Be more selective about what you choose to load from the CD. I would install the chipset drivers and LAN drivers, then grab everything else on line.

I fixed it. I found out I had left the Boot priority on CD-ROM.
I have another, unrelated problem though,.. my computer is unstable and gave me two blue screens--one while I was at the desktop and one during the XP loading screen.
Here is a screenshot of the error code when I finally got back to the desktop

you most likely have an unstable overclock, try running at stock clocks for a while and run a stability program (at stock speeds) to make sure your setup is stable.

im not overclocking anything. my ram's stock speed is 1066 (ddr-2) i guess ill lower it to 800

@OP:Looks like your Windows CD is corrupt or modified/not legit. Or could be a bad install.

boot it up in safe mode, and remove that Asus crap you unstalled.

did you set your ram up manually in the bios after you installed it? to rule out a ram issue try running a program like memtest

Install/all has always caused problems for me. The drivers work great one at a time.

 

[proto_prime]

i ran memtest86 but got no errors. the ram is G.Skill 1066 PC8500.. i dont know what it ran at without adjusting the frequency though.. the asus bios is horrible and i cant find anything. i manually adjusted it to 1066 and 2.1v (says the packaging)

Download and run CPU-Z.

On the SPD tab, look for the settings under 667mhz.
Write those down.

Go into your BIOS and make sure the FSB is set to 333, then manually apply the memory timings and voltage you wrote down.

See if it's stable then. If so, you have a starting point.
