remove the ram & use a pencil eraser on the gold contacts of the ram than reseat the ram. try using 1 stick of ram at a time to see if 1 might be bad.

Somethin' rotten with your harddisk(s), OKIE.
I recommend your one regular HD (IDE) as master on the Primary controller.
It should be blank, unpartitioned/unformatted.
Ensure your BIOS setup is all 100% perfect (Wim's BIOS is an excellent resource for this)
http://www.wimsbios.com
Then run your install from CD. Windows will claim the IDE harddisk and call it C:\
If the HD is bigger than 32MB, Windows will want to use NTFS.
Your SATA drives don't even have to be there - introduce them into your setup later, after they are virus-scanned and disinfected.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you get along...
