Default PC Bods - bit of help needed please........

Just built a new PC for the garage and its not quite right.

Upon installing windows XP, after the discs have done their business and the system needs to be rebooted to stat the final stage of the installation and setup, just after the "XP Loading screen" the system crashes and the blue screen of death is showed with the following standard error message.

It also gave this, or a similar, error message when trying to install windows 2000 after the 4 floppy disc installation was complete in order to copy files to RAM for the installation to continue

"a problem has been detected....etcetcetc

if this is the first time blah blah blah

check for viruses blah blah blah

Technical Information

*** STOP: 0x000007B (0xF9E49640, 0xc0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

The system specification is as follows

PC Chips FSB400 M848A Motherboard
AMD Serpron 2400+ CPU (1.6 Ghz actual speed)
Kingston 128Mb DDR 266Mhz RAM (2 sticks making 256 megs)
ATI Raedon 7000 GFX Card with 64Mb RAM onboard
Maxtor 40Gb HD





Now the BIOS is self configuring for CPU clockspeed and the like and reducing the clock speed so the CPU runs at 1.5 GHZ gives the same problem


I've checked the RAM in this machine i am on now and it is spot on and causes no problems.

As far as i am aware there has been no static interfearence and all the components were brand new baught by myself from Ebuyer (not that the supplier makes any odds) 1 month since, but i've only just got round to putting it all together and its all been boxed untill then. The only thing not new is the HD, but that was in this machine as a backup drive and worked with no fault or any problems.


Has anyone got any gen on anything that could be causing the problem?


Cheers
