I am now on my third time reinstalling to factory build. It now no
longer goes past the Windows XP setup screen. I'm giving up for a
while. I'll be swapping out memory, hd, etc. to try to get this thing
working again. It had 2-512MB chips in it, and I've replaced them with
2-256MB chips. Running out of ideas. It might be time for a new
notebook. When it was working, Task Manager didn't show anything
outside of the ordinary.

No, Task Manager shows that almost no cpu cycles are being used. I
am doing a delete partition and reformatting the HD again. Then I'll
try another reinstall. The HD is a 100GB disk and takes a real long
time to format... I'm thinking that this may be the culprit.

I don't get a "not responding" and task manager says they are running,
but they never really execute. I performed a factory reinstallation
from the disks that came with the computer and told it to overwrite
and
return the system to the factory state. This hasn't helped. Any
ideas? Thanks
Does Task Manager show some process that's eating all your CPUs?
