I Am building a system that has a dg31pr intel motherboard with a E2200 cpu,2 apacer 512 DDR 2 ram, Asus EN8400GS video card, 2 seagate sata HDD, and a GV1240x card. when i go to boot up the system it blue screens and the xp spash screen. If i take out the ram stick in slot 2 system boots up fine. If i replace the ram and take out the geo vision card out the system comes up fine. I Have replaced everything and i mean everything even the keyboard and mouse. I have also load different HDD with a load form a image that i know works and from scratch. Still does the same thing.

Is this a fresh XP install?

My first thought is that some driver....like your SATA drivers, are not loading right. I would dig into the exact SATA drivers that are getting loaded, and look real close at the BIOS versio and settings related to those drives.

Do the F8 and do the XP diagnostic startup thing and load one driver at a time.

I would bet on either SATA or video drivers.

IRQ and address conflicts are common when video cards and video capture cards (assume that's what the GV1240x is) are installed. Remove the capture card and clear CMOS to reset ESCD. The see if system is stable.

Try different PCI slots with capture card. Start with one farthest from video card.
