Help! XP Pro will not install in new build

[soarwitheagles]

Hi everyone!

First I would like to say a big thank you to all who helped me last year in June to build my very first computer. It has worked beyond my highest expectations and for this I am thankful.

Thanks again.

Well, I am trying a new build again. After waiting patiently again for about 7 months I have managed to purchase most items well below market price or free at Fry's.

But....

This time, the system starts up and I can go into BIOS, but when I attempt to install Windows XP Pro SP1, I receive an error message saying Windows is shutting down to protect my computer from damage. It gives 3 strange stop codes and a couple of other messages too.

Can anyone tell me what step to take next?

It's me, Not-So-Fast-Freddy!
