I having problems with my custom pc i just got (im on a budget lol) The motherboard is a Gigabyte 7VT600P-RZ i've installed all the drivers for everything, gfx card, usb, motherboard etc... I've installed windows xp and it loads up but it doesnt stay like that for long. I get a blue screen telling me there might be problems with newly installed hardware, i suspect the gfx card (ATI Radeon 9250) Its had problems since i installed it and put the drivers on. Any suggestions on how to fix it would be really useful.

Thanks! :)

i need to see the blue screen. those can be "read" you know, and will in all the garbage tell you exactly what is causing the crash. it may be the vidcard as you suspect but it may not. take a look at http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1647&page=2 for more info on how to read the BSOD and target the problem causing it.

This is not true, many motherboards are picky about the RAM they are compatible with, which is why Gigabyte and other motherboard manufacturers provide memory compatibility lists.
