You may receive this error message when Windows attempts to use device drivers that are incompatible with Windows XP. take a look in the log that XP build before the installation, then try to replace all incompatible drivers.

There is an option in XP under theperformance Tab in system. THis option states that it will Shut the system down automatically apon failure. You can unset this option so that it wont reboot. that and Run windows update and download the fixes that theyhave on the site. however ifyouave a bootleg version of XP beware of the service pack
