Check and see if you've got bad RAM. I know a guy who had serious issues with his system (Windows not booting, Windows not installing, as it would claim the CD was corrupt, etc.) because of a bad stick of RAM. He even got errors in the Windows startup process telling him that his hardware was irreversibly damaged.
Replaced the stick of RAM, everything started working.
