New PC Build Probs - BSOD installing XP??

[csnokia]

right well ive just built a new pc, have built many before this one.. and i keep getting BSOD's?!? im really confised as this shouldnt be happening as all the parts are brand spankers..

Can anyone help?
The messages i get are:

BAD_POOL_CALLER
IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
or.. more commonly..
PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

Any ideas as to what the problems might be, i have tried 2 copies of XP and neither seem to work, both home and pro edition..

Spec is a 2200+, dvd rom, 256corsair ram ...etc

shouldnt be havin a problem, unless its me being stupid.. could anyone help me out? thanks in advance.

Edit:

I've also had the BSOD saying 'IO1_INITIALISATION_FAILED' as well.. but i seem to only get that one when i attempt to install xp home.

Without a bit more info I would have stab a guess at bad ram as it's one of the few things that have given me grief building XP/W2K machines to date.
That and "Manifest Parse Error" (bad copy of XP).

Seem to remember a m8 of mine had this and it was down to faulty or mismatched RAM.

If you have more than one stick, try removing one at a time and retrying or maybe check it's the right type for the mobo.

also, if possible, adjust memory timings. some motherboards do not like the super fast low latency memory, i have found macking adjustments here prevents these kind of errors.

each time you have tried a reinstall, did you delete the partition and recreate it, just so there aint sumthing on the MBR stored?

It's either bad RAM, like everyone else mentioned, or one or more of the drivers. Have you tried updating all the drivers? (Video, audio, NIC, motherboard chipset)
