XrayMan - Heck yes, I'm proud of my self now, even though it should of happened sooner. ;)

5thduke - What can I say, I'm just good at it. Actually started cracking up laughing to your post, it was priceless.
If it makes you feel any better, since I'm on my old computer, it takes awhile for it to load. haha

seabigbear - OH YEAH! That's how GT usually is, I must say I was a little shakey after being told to post this thread here. :D

Now you need a Avatar, Sig, Mods Rigs, =EGC=, & you 1st 1,000 post under your belt!

 So basically Folding@Home is a distributed computing program used by Stanford University that will use your processing cycles that are not being used by other programs from either your CPU and/or graphics card (NVIDIA or ATI based) to work on complex protein folding sequences’ trying to find cures for diseases, such as Alzheimer's, ALS, Huntington's, Parkinson's disease, and many cancers. If you would like to learn more about this you can find more information here http://folding.stanford.edu/ .

Now there only one program that I use it's this one FAH GPU Tracker V2

Want to buy it for me? :D
I wont be able to get it for probably awhile. I need a Jeep Wrangler more than a computer, which I shouldn't have bought it, but I had to take up the deal.
I will NOT let a computer beat me. It's going to be Chad 1, Computer -1

Is it possible it might have something to do with the "On-Chip ATA Devices"?
PCI IED BusMaster         [Disabled]
On-Chip SATA Controller [Enabled]
RAID Mode                      [IDE]
 
Raid Mode also has AHCI 
 
Edit:
I think I found the problem. From doing some research it's saying I'm going to keep getting the Blue Screen Error if I have more than 3GB of Memory/Ram. I guess this sucks because I only have a 1GB stick. Been a week and still not using my new computer, how funny is that. :D

What I would do is unplug the power cord to the PSU than take out the battery off of the mobo & wait for a min. that put the battery back in then plug your power cord  in then turn your rig on & then try to install windows!

Not saying your wrong, but how come it's been working just fine for YEARS? I just re-did a brand new Laptop the other day, along with 3 other desktops with NO problems. After doing research it says it's because of the ram/memory. It works fine, loads all the files, then after it's done it just blanks out.

I actually in fact have that burn in my old system. I'll give it a try.
I just tried the MotherBoard battery trick, didn't work.
LapTop: Loaded the disc without any problems.
Desktop: Well I'm using my Desktop. haha
 
Thank you for all the help!

Here you go, Win7 pro for $69, all you need is a student Email... or perhaps a trusted friend with one.

Dont worry that it says Upgrade, you can do a clean install with it too.

Torrent. Ha! Ha! Know what you get with Torrents? Embedded spyware that cannot be removed, or found by an amateur PC user/tech.
 
Also, I would not be surprice you are trying to use a pirated copy of Window XP or an OEM image restore disc to install Windows XP....
 
Put it this way, how would you like it if someone stole your work and gave it away for free? Better yet, how would you like it if someone stole your identity?
