I completely partitioned and formatted the disk before trying a clean install(several times!) In the end I did manage to get windows XP installed but the machine is still as unstable as hell and just freezes anytime even if I am not running anything except windows.
I have now tried setting the memory voltage in the bios to 1.9v and even manually set the Vcore setting for the chip but it all made no difference. I tried installing windows(xp) but only got freezes and a couple of BSOD without any helpfull messages.
Thanks to both of you for your help, your answers were along the same lines as I was thinking, I wasn't sure about the voltage for the ram but I will try that next as mine is set to auto in the bios and so could well be a problem.
