its a driver/hardware problem usually - take out everything you can, then try the latest drivers.

eliminate the ram issue by only having one in (providing of course you're using 2 sticks) if it still does it, swap 'em over and try again

good luck

If its one of those XP's with SP2 built in it might have fubbered motherboard drivers, I had that before, theres only 2 fixes, a) install XP with no sp, then manually update or b) download a later copy of XP with SP2 built in with fixed drivers.

Try the ram in different slots, and only 1 stick at a time,

then if it still bsods get the exact error written down (including all the 0's) and try googling that.

It looks like a hardware fault to me. I recently had to replace a motherboard as I couldn't get it to even install windows (linux was already installed so continued to work, but sometimes crashed giving me the exact same reference point for the failure each time, as did windows).

If it is the same point (i.e. same memory address) it could well be the motherboards memory controller that is dead and might need replacing, but s939 stuff is hard to come by now if thats your current arch. I would get on to asus themselves to try and source a replacement.
