So my new computer does not work.

The history of my computer.

1. Put together all hardware-started up and showed BIOS fine.

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ venice core
Abit AN8 Sli Motherboard
Abit Ati Radeon x700pro
2x512MB Corsair ValueSelect 184-pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered
Maxtor DiamondMax 10 200GB 7200RPM SATA 150
Pioneer Burner
Samsung 710N

Windows OEM Version SP2
Microsoft Office SP1

2. Loaded Windows-Comupter crashed several times during this. Restarted several times throughout time period to get Windows to finally run. (Internet would not run because of a driver not loaded right after Windows was installed.)
3. Reinstalled Windows and Nvidia Ethernet Driver next- Computer worked 100%.
4.After a few other drivers were loaded, a pop up said something about the Nvidia firewall letting something through. Then the computer screen would blink and then go to a blue screen with a full page of white writting for only a half second (not long enough to distinguish anything on the screen). Then it would restart.
5. I tried shutting off the firewall and running the Windows one, but that seemed to have no effect.
6. The computer went into a spree of running through the cycle of the blue screen to restart, regardless of if I did anything or just let Windows run.
7. I hit the shut down button and started the computer fresh- The Operating system would not load up.
8. After several restarts and small changes in BIOS, that did not work, I reset the CMOS jumper. This also having to effect on the computer starting up and loading Windows.
9. Ran Memtest86 for 9 runs with no errors.

And now I am here at the mercy of my computer to start working 7 days before I leave for college.

Got any ideas as to how to get my computer working?

couple of suggestions.....

get a hold of some cheap Video card and slap it in there see if that has any effect ??
Also, RAM is a big issue with AMD systems (even though my own computer is AMD ), I found out that lots of game don't work on my system or it does crash due to RAM (OS runs without any issue for a while), if you can borrow couple of stick of RAM from a friend or something and try it out.
