P5Q + SATA problems

I'm having problems installing windows XP on my computer. Every time I'm in the middle of installation, I get the blue screen of death that says "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL"

Here are my specs

ASUS P5Q
Intel Core 2 Dual Core 2.8ghz
GeForce 9400GT
2GB DDR2 Ram
280gb SATA Hard Drive

This problem has recurred time and time again. And even when I'm somehow lucky enough to successfully install windows XP, I get the blue screen of death when I'm installing Windows Updates.

Please give me your insight.
