Try it with one stick of ram. XP can sometimes sense ram problems when loading. Also, try testing the memory with a boot disk of Memtest86+. You may have a defective stick. Third, if you get the bsod again, post the exact error message here so we can research it a bit.

Has the hard drive been used before in another computer? If so, you would have needed to change the IDE drivers.

Maybe I misread your post. Does "load the software" mean install XP or install other programs?

That's not your issue. You have a core hardware problem.
