if the power supply is generic then it might not be supplying enough power
when you are loading windows it asks if you want to load any third party drivers
if you do press f6
i think you need to load the drivers for the pci to ide card at this point

slipstream sp2 into the xp disk and use this for installing,you do not need sp1 as it already included into sp2

set it up out of the case with
cpu
ram
video
speaker

start it by shorting the 2 pins the wires from the switch connect to and see if it posts
if it does put it back in the case in the same configuration and check it again
if ok reconnect the switch wires and check again
if ok start adding your other components checking between each one,to see if a paticular one is causing the problem
