OEM XP Installastion fails at Blue Screen "Starting Windows"

I have rebuilt my machine except for the hard drives. Installing an OEM
version of XP home onto the c: partition stops at the blue screen after
installing all the required installation files when the bottom line reads
"Starting Windows". It does this whether the C: partition contains the
original windows 98Se or is a clean formatted partition. I reboot after
about 5-6minutes.

Any one any ideas?

All that can be said is that you have a hardware issue. Try pulling out all the cards minus the video card. Unplug anything attached besides keyboard mouse and monitor

Try setup again.
