At what point does it bomb?  When I have seen machines just 'freeze' it
has been either the memory as someone mentioned or the hard drive, or
the drivers associated with the disk subsystem.  Is in doing installing
components, or is it in gui plug and play detection?  If it is in the
gui mode detecting hardware it I would think that perhaps there is a
hand detecting a piece of hardware it such as the disk controller etc.

Well I updated the BIOS and began the reformat process.
Formatted with NTFS and then loaded Windows XP back onto the system

Yet with the same results, the machine still locks up around 25-26
minutes.

I can hold the power switch and then when it restarts it will attempt
to continue with the installation process but bombs out each time
virtually at the same spot.

ANy other ideas before I toss the thing out the window???
