core 2 duo e4300
gigabyte ds3 mobo (rev 1.33)
2gb ddr2800 ballistix ram
evga geforce 7600gt video card
serial ata 160gb maxtor hd
samsung pata dual layer burner
corsair hx520 520w psu

That's my rig...here are the error codes on the blue screen of death:

0x0000007B (0x0F78DA524, 0xC0000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000)

I GET THIS ERROR WHILE INSTALLING WINDOWS XP WHEN IT SAYS "SETUP IS STARTING WINDOWS"

These parts are brand new right out of the box...someone was telling me something about changing the memory voltage in the bios...but i didn't think i'd have to do that right out of the box...and i don't want to damage any parts.

Thanks for any advice you can offer...

Ballistix DDR2 800 is rated for 2.2 volts. Your motherboard is probably providing 1.8 volts. hmmm. ;) (hint: raise the motherboard's memory voltage to what the modules are designed for)

Its in the MB Intelligent Tweaker (M.I.T)...Clearly labled as DDR2 OverVoltage Control.
