I'm having pretty much the same problem, no luck though. I've tried different ram,
hdisks, video cards, and many different settings, still nothing, I get the BSOD
at different times during the install (of xp) sometimes it comes up right away, sometimes
it waits halfway through the install. It has the irq error and sometimes a page
fault in non paged area. sometimes it doesn't have any error but has all the other
BSOD info like the memory dump stuff.
