Here are the specs on this machine

AMD XP2200+ chip
MSI KT880 Mobo
Kingston DDR 400 512mb
WD HD 120GB
GeForce 6600GT Video Card
550 Power Supply

I have been attempting to install windows on this machine. It is at the
initial Windows setup blue screen. At the bottom of the screen you can see
all the devcices and files that it is setting up (keep in mind this is b4 you
even begin to format the HD). It gets right at the end of loading/setting up
the drivers, and this is the last command it states: SETUP IS LOADING WINDOWS
NT FILE SYSTEM (NTFS). The system just restarts right at that point. I have
switched memory, and HD's and it does the same. Has anybody seen this b4?
Please give a hand cause I am going nuts now.

I'd recommend updating your BIOS to the last version available.

Since the board has three memory slots, try each slot one at a time. Also, to eliminate the possibility of it being the memory stick or memory slot, run MemTest86 with the memory stick in each slot.

Will that work (memtest86) without any operating system? And where can I grab it from.

Also instructions there to make a boot disk to use it with.

It's not the power supply. I have switched those out.
