Troubles with XP on my new machine

Hey,
I've recently built my own computer and it switches on, and all the hardware works without going bang.

However i've installed XP Professional on and it doesnt like it.

The windows loading bar shows up, goes across about once, then the blue screen of doom appears.

If I boot the computer up in safe mode it will fully load windows...

I've installed the correct drivers for my graphics card (PowerColor 9250 Powered by ATi Radeon 9250) however it refuses to boot up....

If anyone has any ideas or pointers asto how I can fix this problem I'd be very greatful, Thanks in advance.

I dont get any error or BSOD anymore. The computer simply gets to windows loading screen then reboots.
 
Run [link=http://memtest86.com/]memtest86 3.2[/link] overnight and see if you come out with any error.
 
It's been running for 13 hours now (Still not done) and has come up with a few (172) errors, I take it this program is checking my RAM... The first few errors are below.

Code: 
tst		pass		failing address		good		bad		err-bits		count		chan

As you said that you have recently build your computer, so I guess you must be getting warranty replacement of your RAM.(COZ its bad)
