Windows XP installation problem

[MJ]

As first sorry for bad English. As second:
I have: Soyo SY7VBA133, PIII 600MHz, 320 Mb SDRAM,HDD WD
20 Gb, GeForce II MX400 64Mb, Modem Conexant Soft 56k, CD
LG 52X, CDRW Lite-On 40X12X48X. I tried to install
Windows XP and instalation stops at 32 minutes till
end,and then nothing. The only thing i can do is to
restart my computer (not Ctrl+Alt+Del, i must press button
on case). I have been changing every part in computer
except monthboard and processor and same problem again.
What could be the problem?BIOS?(Would flashing BIOS help?)
What can I do?Give me some ideas. Did You have same
problems?
PS. Does anybody have this monthboard and XP?
Thanks.

Do you have an Operating System Installed now? (W98/ME)
If you do put the XP CDROM in the tray. When it autostarts
you will have 4 choices. install windows / install optional /
perform additional / __check system compatibility__.
__check system compatibility__print it out and read it over
thoroughly. Your system should be able to load XP. Do
a memtest86 to see if your ram is good. Also check your
power options. Your PC may be going to sleep on you.
good luck
