If I were you, I'd start with checking the physical RAM in the system. <A HREF="http://www.memtest86.com/" target="_new">Memtest86</A>

I am getting a different error message, every time I try to finish installing XP. The above is the most common. Among the other error messages though I am seeing a theme. Video and memory. Perhaps there is something wrong with the Vid Card? Would the card display anything if these wern't working properly? Ill post this question in the Graphics Card section too.

OK. I got it working. Here is what I did. It may work for you too provided you have the same or similar set up.
I just underclocked my cpu to FSB 133. This has gotten XP installed now I can install drivers and everything else. When thats done I will move it back up to 200.

I would think that underclocking the FSB means you may have ammeory that can't take the higher speed. You might also want to check if the Cycle Length(CL) is set to 2 or 3, if it's on 2 set it to 2.5 or 3 if you can. May need to look at the timing situation of memory as well. May not be anything wrong with it other then it may not be for higher speed/timing.

OOoo Look I'm a member! Do I get Privleges now? Where's the secret decoder ring?

wow!!! 200fsb. What setup are you running with. Amd or Intel.
i think my problem is with my software, it was running smoothly before i formatted. After i formatted and installed Norton Systemworks, i got this problem.
Might try formatting again to install XP home and 2003 server.

Anyway, i'm using intel and i'm running with my stock speed. i tried increasing my fsb to 150 but it's not stabil because i'm still using intel hsf...
I'm using P4G8X Deluxe and i'll get a centerwood processor soon to up my fsb to 200 easily or higher if i can.
I heard it does not couse much heat to processor, motherboard and the chipset this way.
