New System Blue Screen Nightmare

Hello all, this is my first post (and my reason for joining); any help would be fantastic.

A couple weeks ago I bought the following components in the hopes of building a system:

Intel DP 45SG Motherboard w/matched
Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 processor (supposedly a good deal at $279.99 for the package)

I started off with an ATI HD 4670 video card but since returned it and bought my current video card:
BFG GeForce GTX 260 (not sure if that was a step in the right direction but thought it might clear up my blue screen problems)

I started off with 4GB DDR3 (2x2 VIPER) @ 1600MH but since returned those and opted for my current RAM:
4GB DDR3 (2x2 CORSAIRS XMS3) @ 1333MH (hoped that would solve compatibility problems but it didn't)

Seagate 1TB hard drive (SATA) "Barracuda" 3.5in 7200rpm

LG 22X DVDRW

CORSAIR PSU-650TX

ANTEC Three Hundred Case

I'm trying to install windows XP Pro from an original 2002 disc.

I keep getting the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL Blue Screen of Death with the following Techinical Information Code:
0x0000000A

Apparently that means I have a hardware configuration issue. After some googling, poking around these forums, and surfing the Microsoft site I returned some hardware as I noted above, then I tried to play around with the HAL setting and switched it to ACPI Multiprocesser, reinstalled windows and got the same error.

What is going on here? I tried to install the Intel driver disc that came with the processor but I can't figure out how to do that from boot. I tried pressing F5 while windows was "checking the system" during a reboot of the OS install, selecting "other" and using a floppy drive or putting the CD in the drive but that didn't work. So I put the setting on ACPI Multiprocessor (seemed like most inclusive choice according to the Microsoft site).

Anyone got any advice? I would love to get this computer working. Thanks.

Thanks Proximon...I'll give nlite a shot and see how it goes. I appreciate the feedback.

Yay.

Yes, except when the OS is 6 years out of date and the chipset is new. If the OS can't recognize the hardware as it installs, it can't configure the HAL correctly. By integrating the latest service pack into the OS, you update the ability to detect and configure.
