What error messages are you seeing ? Have you any codes given ? Without knowing this it could be alot of things ie... Could be bad memory, Bad CD or CD Rom Drive and so on...
This could be a memory problem or a problem with the OS (XP). If you can boot the original XP CD like your doing an install then it's not a memory problem more the likely. Can you boot your XP CD?
