Solve : blue screen before i can format xp pro?

Answer»

i just bought a ASUS p5g41t-mlx motherboard with a PENTIUM E5400 2.7GHz dual core processor and a hard drive, when starting up with windows xp cd in, it goes to through the initial setup and is about to restart the comp when i get a blue screen(this is before i get to make a partition)

i only have 1 ide port, i have the hard drive as master with black end plugged in(end of ide CABLE) and the dvd drive with the gray end(middle of ide cable)

this is basically my blue screen message

problem detected windows shut down to prevent comp damage
check for adequate DISK space. if a driver is identified in stop message disable it or check for updates,
TRY CHANGING video adapters

check for bios update. disable bios memory options such as caching or shadowing. Start in
safe mode to remove or disable components

You delete and create partitions in windows setup before it needs to restart.
How far do you get into the install before this happens?
Do you see the "welcome to setup" screen?oh, well it does the initial setup for maybe 4 to5 mins and blue screens before it gets to any options, like delete partition, create new partition, i dont remember the others that are usually thereis it ok to be running both the hard drive and dvd drive on the same ide port

Have you checked the jumpers on the drives?
Are you using onboard video?
You might also want to check your RAM. Give memtest a shot http://www.memtest.org/#downisoi tried with a video card and onboard video, can i use memtest without an OS installedYes.
