Defective memory (including main memory, L2 RAM cache, video RAM) or incompatible software (including remote control and antivirus software) might cause this Stop message, as may other hardware problems (e.g., incorrect SCSI termination or a flawed PCI card).

If possible, move your HD to another computer and format it there. Bring it back and try XP inastallation from your original CD.
