1.  Brand new computer, BSODs at exact same spot during windows install.  
2. Almost everything is new: e8500, hsi ati 4870 1gb, 2x2gb pc8500 gskill, gigabyte ud3r mobo. Existing components: seasonic 600w psu, three IDE/PATA hard drives and one IDE/PATA dvd drive. I put everything together, boots up and I can get into the bios. I don't have a speaker handy to listen to any possible error codes, however. Bios recognizes each hard drive (this mobo only has one ide cable, so i've had to swap out the drives), the dvd drive, the ram as listed (although I had to change voltage to correct 2.0) and the cpu at correct speed. When I boot from windows cd, it loads all the drivers, says "setup is loading windows", and around 7 seconds later, blue screens. No matter which ram slot, only one stick, which hard drive (all are on cable-select), it blue screens 7 seconds in. I've also flashed the bios to the most current version.
3. I have never been past the windows screen. If I sit in the bios for awhile, nothing happens, no blue screen. Only bsod's at the 7 second part when it's finished loading the drivers off the cd. Also, I've tried booting from the cd on my laptop, and it gets past that just fine, so no cd prob. I've also switched out the dvd drive to a brand new one, and no luck.
4. Very much repeatable; it happens everytime. I've tried all the various components that I have to diversify the setup, all to no luck. I have nothing in any of the PCI slots, expect for the ati card in the pci-e slot.
5. I have tried using each ram by itself, in each slot (with the correct voltage setting), using a brand new dvd drive, using three different hard drives that worked previously (although admittedly, they sat for a few years protected, but the bios recognizes their name and space. Also, since only one ide connection, each hard drive was tested solely with the dvd drive.), disabled nearly everything in the bios (I read that some people had the same bsod error msg as me who disabled bios raid and it worked), went with the "fail-safe" option in the bios, and updated the bios.
6. No software: windows xp 32bit. I will try to secure a 64bit soon.
7. Brand new: Intel e8500, Gigabyte EP45-UD3R, HSI ATI 4870 1gb, XP-90 HSF, 2x2gb pc2-8500 ddr2, seasonic s12 600w PSU, maxtor seagate and WD drives of various sizes, NEC and no-name dvd drive.
8. First computer in about 4 years, got everything ready to roll, or so it seemed. Any help or thoughts are most appreciated, thank you.
Best,
Danny
The BSOD error message reads:
windows has stopped installing due to a hardware problem. check your hard disks for virus or any problems. run a check disk chkdsk /f on the hard drives.
