Ok, here's a chronological order of what has happened to my system:
Brand new system, killer specs. Anyway, I install the thing and have a bit of trouble in the beginning with stop code errors, then I discover that it was a driver error. Next, my computer starts freezing for like 20 seconds randomly then coming back on again. Also it won't display limewire properly and it shows a white screen where the window should be. Anyway, I try to fix this problem by reinstalling windows; but when I start reinstalling it, it gives me an error asking for the disc. Then I try it again, but it doesn't complete again and I try it again. The third time, it didn't even make it past the hardware inspection step, which is the first step in installiation. I'm thinking that it is either my motherboard that is being screwy or it is my RAM. What do you guys think?
EDIT: HEres my specs:
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 4000+ San Diego 1GHz FSB 1MB L2 Cache Socket 939
