I recently built a computer from the specs below. I had a floppy drive, 2 DVD drives, and few other SATA HDD's to add to it. I assembled everything (I've been building PC's for years now), I tried booting to an XP I had in my last PC but it gets to the loading bar then BSOD really quick and reboots to start all over. I recorded it on my cam to catch a code, but it's incomplete and changes. Generally it looks like 0x0u or 0x00u with nothing written below and no other info included. I've tried ghosting my drive to my 1TB to see if it's my 120GB drive I'm using and I get the same error. I've updated the BIOS, I've tried loading a fresh install of Vista (both 32 and 64) and it gets to the loading bar and hard hangs. I've tried loading Ubuntu from the LiveCD (not an install) and it tries loading the kernel, errors out a bunch of lines (examples below) and hard hangs at loading device drivers.

...
254.154028] ata4.00: revalidation failed (errno=-5)

Any advice anyone can lend would be greatly appreciated. My ultimate goal is to be able to enter XP without a Repair since I have a lot of software installed that I've lost the install discs for over the years and don't want to lose. That's why I've been trying to get in using Vista or Ubuntu first. But I'll do what has to be done if it comes down to that. Thanks in advance. .:B3:.

Can't be done I'm afraid - when you move a XP install to a completely different PC it's just a game of luck whether it'll still work or not - usually it has to be the same chipset manufacturer.

Thanks for responding. The question still remains why it won't even allow a clean install; why it just keeps freezing.
